Quickstart (Free)

Start project

Project settings

Define project group and name, select Gradle or Maven as your build tool, choose between Java or Kotlin and enable Lombok for the generated code. Select Thymeleaf, jte, Angular or React as your frontend stack if required. The most recent version of Spring Boot is always used (currently 4.1.1).

Database settings

Select your relational, document-oriented or embedded database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, MS SQL, MongoDB, Derby, H2, HSQL). Use Flyway or Liquibase to generate database migrations from your project model, let Hibernate update the schema (ddl-auto=update) or only validate it (ddl-auto=validate). Mongock is available for MongoDB.

Developer preferences

Choose further preferences for your generated code: Use application.yml or application.properties for the application settings. Structure your code by domain, make Swagger UI available in your running application or enable spring-boot-docker-compose plugin.

Dependencies

Bootify automatically adds required dependencies for your selected options, like the Spring starters and JDBC driver. Search and select additional dependencies on top.

Add Entities

Add your tables in the Entities tab. The primary key can have the type Integer, Long, UUID or String, while the other fields can be required or unique and have more types to choose from. When the REST or frontend option is enabled, controllers, services and data transfer objects are added to your code to provide basic CRUD operations. Add and inherit from mapped superclasses.

Add Relations

Connect your entities with Many-to-one, One-to-many, One-to-one and Many-to-many relations. The given name is used as the field name in the Java class (for example "creator") and "_id" is added to the column name at the database (for example "creator_id"). DocumentReference is used for MongoDB.

Import an existing schema

Import your existing SQL script to directly create the entities and relations from it. Only features available in Bootify can be imported.

Improve in iterations

Use the UML preview to review and improve your application model before implementing business logic. Entities, relations, migrations, APIs and frontend code are generated from the same project model, so changes fit together across the application.

Create Enums

Enums can be added in the Data Objects tab. After its creation, the Enum can be selected as a field type at the entity.

Create Data Objects

Data Objects are basically plain Java objects with a set of fields. These fields can refer other Data Objects as a field type, so it is possible to create complex structures. Data Objects are persisted as JSON when used as a field type at the entity.

Explore and download

Explore and download your runnable Spring Boot application with a clean, conventional project structure, database migrations, APIs and your selected frontend. Continue in Codex, Claude Code or manually in your IDE without first rebuilding or reorganizing the project setup.
