Spring Boot skeleton project
An individual skeleton for Spring Boot can save huge amounts of time at the beginning of the project. Simultaneously, it lays the foundation for your project to remain maintainable and expandable in the long term if it delivers the right quality. How can Bootify help you create a high-quality skeleton code for Spring Boot?
The magical skeleton generator
Creating a project
In Bootify's Free plan, a new project can be started directly in the browser - no registration required. Individual settings can now be selected in the General tab.
- Maven or Gradle as preferred build tool
- Kotlin or Java as language
- Optional frontend stack for Angular or Thymeleaf
A database and other developer preferences are also available. With the option for Docker compose, the project setup time for new developers is reduced to a minimum, as all external services (such as the database) are integrated as Docker containers.
Developer preferences in the Free plan
In the Entities tab, a database schema can now be created with all required tables and their relations to each other. The generated skeleton then includes all entities for Spring Data / Hibernate. In addition, CRUD options for the REST API or the frontend are available for each table to integrate exactly the required classes and templates.
The Professional plan comes with advanced features.
- Complex Spring Security Setup
- An option for multi-module projects
- Automatic Git integration for continuous updates
Only the selected options are added to your skeleton without unnecessary overhead, while following best practices for Spring Boot.
Extended customization in the DevOps plan
In the DevOps or Enterprise plan, the Bootify Builder can be adapted to the requirements of large teams. They are based on the Free and Professional plan, so that the code is always generated for the current Spring Boot version 3.3.4.
The generated skeleton can be extended with company-specific features using your own options, files and build extensions. Existing options in the Bootify Builder can be preselected and hidden so that, for example, only multi-module or Gradle projects are available.
Managing custom options in the DevOps plan
The focus lies entirely on the company's own extensions and supporting ongoing projects.
Start with a Walking Skeleton
A Walking Skeleton describes an approach in agile development with which a running prototype is developed and deployed as early as possible. This is then expanded iteratively, thus increasing the chance of identifying critical problems as early as possible in the life cycle of the project.
Bootify is the ideal tool for creating a Spring Boot skeleton. It provides an initial version of your software with a database schema and desired settings in just a few moments. Thanks to the minimalistic approach and best practices, the project is aimed towards long-term success.
