Cons

Warning
Hey there! Seems like you are still using the documentation of our legacy Java repository. Since it won’t be maintained anymore, we recommend you to checkout the new Java page here.

Spring has the following drawbacks:

  • history and legacy
    Due to the pro of its long established history, spring also carries a lot of legacy. As a result there are many ways to do the same thing while some options may be discouraged. Developers needs some guidance (e.g. via devon4j) as they may enter pitfalls and dead-ends when choosing the first solution they found on google or stackoverflow.

  • lost lead in cloud-native
    While for the last decades spring was leading innovation in Java app development, it seems that with the latest trends and shift such as cloud-native, they have been overtaken by frameworks like quarkus. However, spring is trying to catch up with spring-native.
