What's (new) with Spring Boot and Containers?

July 11, 2025 15:00 – 15:30 · 30 min Stage 2

What this session covers

Spring Boot has established as the most popular framework for Java applications, while containers have become a standard in many aspects of modern software development. Now, how well do they go together? In this session, we’ll explore the most important ways Spring Boot integrates with containers, covering tools and features that simplify building, testing, and running your applications in Docker and Kubernetes.

This talk will guide you through the entire developer journey covering established integration points as well as updates and new ones: building efficient images with Buildpacks including options like jlink, support for native images, testing in realistic environments with Testcontainers, running locally with recently added Docker Compose feature, and deploying securely in Kubernetes.

The majority of integration points will be shown in live demo steps.
