Spring Boot on Docker: Build, Ship, and Scale with AWS
Introduction Deploying applications consistently across multiple environments has always been a challenge. With different operating systems, dependencies, and configurations, ensuring a smooth deployment can be tricky. Spring Boot, being a popular framework for building Java applications, simplifies development but doesn't inherently solve deployment inconsistencies. This is where Docker comes in—allowing you to package your application into a container that runs reliably in any environment. In this guide, we’ll take a step-by-step approach to dockerizing a Spring Boot application using Maven, discuss real-world challenges, and explore solutions with practical code examples. Why Dockerize a Spring Boot Application? Here’s why containerizing your Spring Boot application makes sense:
