Spring Boot makes the development of Spring-based applications easy. It enables us to create production-ready applications from day one of a project.

In this chapter, we covered the basics of Spring Boot and REST services. We discussed the different features of Spring Boot and created a few REST services with great tests. We understood what happens in the background with an in-depth look at auto-configuration.

In the next chapter, we will shift our attention toward adding more features to the REST services.
