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. -

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.
