Spring Boot Starters

Ever wondered why adding spring-boot-starter-web or spring-boot-starter-data-jpa just makes things work? Let’s break down what Starters actually do and why they’re so powerful.

When I first started working with Spring, I was always wondering:
What is spring-cloud-starter-openfeign?
What is spring-boot-starter-web?

At first glance, they just seemed like convenient libraries with some pre-made configuration. But actually, they are what makes Spring Boot fast, easy to use, and help keep your pom.xml clean.
