Bootiful Spring Boot 3.x
summary
Demonstrates upgrading to Java 21 baseline with Spring Boot 3.2.3, building a service that uses Docker Compose + Postgres, Spring Data JDBC repo, DevTools hot reload and a Spring AI OpenAI chat client that returns a poem. Shows JVM virtual threads handling thousands of blocking waits with near-reactive scalability. Uses Spring AOT + GraalVM native-image: ~51s compile, 99MB binary, 0.1s startup and ~118MB RSS. Claims observability, declarative HTTP/RSocket, Loom/CRaC support and Kotlin coroutine ergonomics are production-ready.
