Spring For Architects
summary
Claims that Spring reduces architect overhead by making the right defaults easy and providing ready patterns for distributed systems; cites a real portfolio audit of ~400 applications that fragment into dozens of services and the need for faster release cadence. Names concrete tools: Spring Boot starter/actuator for metrics, Spring Cloud Sleuth (Zipkin-compatible) for tracing, Spring Cloud Circuit Breaker (Hystrix/Resilience4j/Sentinel) for failover, Spring Native (beta) for GraalVM native images. Discusses gateway, contracts, Kubernetes support and tradeoffs (startup vs build time).
