⚰️Spring Boot Postmortem#1

How Java Accidentally Created a Framework Empire 👑

If Java is so powerful…why did we need Spring? and then Spring Boot?

Did Java suddenly forget how to build websites? No.

Java was suffering from success. (just kidding)

Let’s perform the postmortem.

Imagine it’s 2002.

You’re building Amazon. 🛒

A user opens amazon.com and presses Enter. Simple. Right?

Wrong.

That tiny click starts one of the longest relay races in software engineering.

Every website you’ve ever opened works like this.

The browser acts as the client asking for something, while the server processes the request and replies.

Cool.

So browsers and servers are talking.

But…what language are they even speaking?

That’s our next article. Stay tuned !
