You’ve managed to bust your monolith into Spring Boot microservices, but you’re not delivering features any faster. Adding new services takes just as long as before! All of this code is different, your APIs are all different, and each requires its own special configuration! What’s the deal?

One of the great features of Spring Boot is its Starters - dependencies referenced once in your build and Spring does the rest. In this talk we’ll learn what makes Spring Boot tick, and how you can put its Magic Sauce to work for your enterprise. We will build our own Spring Boot Starter to get our projects off the ground quicker and behaving the same way at runtime.

You’ll be happy because the mundane boilerplate work will be gone. Your boss will be happy because you can focus on features that deliver value. And your operations team will be happy because all your microservices can be treated the same way.

You will learn what a Spring Boot Starter is, how to write and deploy one, and some tips for how to make the developers on your team more productive as a result.
