Spring Boot 4 changes everything you thought you knew about building Java applications. Virtual threads make blocking code fast again. Native images deliver instant startup. First-class API versioning finally solves the "how do we evolve our APIs?" problem. But here's the catch: upgrading isn't just a dependency bump. Jakarta EE 11, new auto-configuration patterns, GraalVM constraints, and reactive vs. virtual threads— getting it right requires understanding the *why* behind every change. This book is your production-ready guide to Spring Boot 4 and Spring Framework 7. Written for intermediate developers who need more than "hello world" tutorials. Learn how to: • Build cloud-native microservices that scale • Migrate from Boot 3 safely and incrementally • Design APIs with built-in versioning and resilience • Choose between reactive, virtual threads, and native images • Secure distributed systems with JWT and OAuth2 • Implement observability that actually helps you debug production issues 300+ pages. 27 chapters.
