Building a Framework on top of Spring Boot
summary
Company built an internal framework on top of Spring Boot to make services production‑ready: unified logging/serialization, metrics, tracing and error formats, plus dependency management and starters. Initial approach forced subclasses and blocked teams, so it was rewritten from scratch to use AutoConfiguration, configuration properties, BeanPostProcessor, Filters and Interceptors, RestTemplate/WebClient customizers and starters. A single dependency and dependency‑management override patches versions across 150+ microservices (example: Log4Shell mitigated within hours), and the result is a Maven artifact that works out of the box and remains customizable.
