What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot is a framework that simplifies building Java applications—especially web apps and APIs—by removing complex setup and configuration. It helps you start and run a Spring application quickly with minimal configuration.

Key features:

• Auto-configuration (no need for heavy setup)
• Embedded servers (like Tomcat or Jetty)
• Easy creation of REST APIs
• Production-ready features (monitoring, metrics via Actuator)
• Faster development with less boilerplate code

What is Spring Cloud?

Spring Cloud is a set of tools and frameworks used to build and manage microservices architectures. It helps you connect, manage, and scale multiple services in a distributed system.

Key features:

• Service discovery (services find each other automatically)
• Centralized configuration management
• Load balancing
• Fault tolerance (handling failures gracefully)
• API gateways (single entry point for multiple services)
