Spring Boot in Practice is a Spring Boot book written by Somnath Musib and published by Manning Publications. It's currently available through the Manning Early Access Program (MEAP). This book covers dozens of handy Spring Boot development techniques, from basic functions to hidden features you probably didn’t even know existed. Each recipe is built around a real-world problem and shows you how Spring Boot can provide a simple and elegant solution.
This repository contains the source code accompanying the book.
In Spring Boot in Practice you will learn:
- A comprehensive introduction to Spring Boot’s features
- Configuration management, logging, and monitoring Spring Boot applications
- Effective methods for database communication
- Utilizing Spring Security and securing your Spring application in production
- Designing and developing microservices and RESTful APIs with Spring Boot

Spring Boot in Practice is full of practical recipes for troubleshooting common development problems with Spring Boot. I have spent years building applications with Spring and share my extensive experience in this focused guide. You’ll master Spring Data, Spring Security, and other Spring-centric solutions for the common business problems you face every day as a software developer.
The code samples in the book use Apache Maven as the build tool. If you prefer Gradle over Maven, here's a table mapping Maven commands to Gradle:
| Maven | Gradle |
|---|---|
./mvnw clean |
./gradlew clean |
./mvnw install |
./gradlew build |
./mvnw test |
./gradlew test |
./mvnw repackage |
./gradlew bootJar |
./mvnw spring-boot:run |
./gradlew bootRun |
./mvnw spring-boot:build-image |
./gradlew bootBuildImage |
