Here's a comprehensive overview of Spring Boot's architecture and components:

Architecture:

● Layered Architecture: Spring Boot promotes a layered approach, typically consisting of:
○ Presentation Layer: Handles HTTP requests, translates JSON, performs
authentication, and interacts with the business layer.
○ Business Layer: Contains core business logic, service classes, authorization, and
validation.
○ Persistence Layer: Interacts with databases for data storage and retrieval (often
using Spring Data).
● Auto-Configuration: Spring Boot automatically configures common beans and
dependencies based on annotations and classpath settings, reducing boilerplate
configuration.

Key Components:

● Spring Boot Starters: Convenient dependency descriptors that group related libraries
and auto-configuration for common features (e.g., web, data, testing).
● Spring Boot CLI (Command Line Interface): Tool for running and testing Spring Boot
applications from the command line.
● Spring Boot Actuator: Provides production-ready features like health checks, metrics,
and monitoring endpoints.
● Embedded Servlet Container: Spring Boot can embed a web server (Tomcat, Jetty, or
Undertow) for standalone applications, eliminating the need for external deployment.
● Spring Boot Starter Parent: Parent POM that manages common dependencies and
plugin versions for Spring Boot projects.

Internals:

● Spring Core: Foundation for dependency injection, IoC container, and other core Spring

features.
● Spring Web: Provides web MVC framework for building REST APIs and web
applications.
● Servlet API: Standard for Java web applications, often used with Spring Web.
● Grape: Embedded dependency resolution engine for managing JAR dependencies.

Benefits of Spring Boot:

● Rapid Development: Simplifies setup and configuration, allowing faster development.


● Opinionated Defaults: Sets sensible defaults for common configurations, reducing
decision fatigue.
● Production-Ready: Includes features for monitoring, logging, health checks, and metrics.
● Microservices-Friendly: Well-suited for building microservices architectures.
● Testability: Encourages test-driven development and provides easy integration with
testing frameworks.
