summary
Quick, concrete tour of Spring fundamentals: shows an example recipe service implemented three ways (XML, Java config, Spring Boot starter), runs via Gradle and the web example boots with an embedded server and JDBC client, and tests with Spring Test + profiles swapped by spring.profiles.active. Claims Spring Boot reaches 72%+ adoption, demonstrates IoC container and auto-configuration eliminating manual wiring, explains resource loaders, AOP for transactions, and Actuator metrics. The sample compiles, runs, and switches data sources by profile as shown on the linked GitHub.
