What Hacker News says
4 sourcesIt's weird that some people including you directly attack my competence. As a power user you should have plenty of experience getting something to work that is not properly document, does not work how the documentation promised it to, or has weird problems on top of it. Look at idiotic things like this:
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/33044
Take any similar issue and you'll see a bunch of people who try to find a solution for them because they just aren't repeatable at all. The underlying issue is the auto configuration doing things you can't follow quite properly. It's like it wasn't mean to be understood. Issues like the one I linked above also show me that the spring dev crowd also doesn't understand the ecosystem anymore. The problem is complexity and automagic.
/e: this is what I mean in a nutshell https://news.

An interested reader can decide for themselves:

In Spring 6.1 now compatible with virtual threads and JDK 21> Spring has gotten so bloated.
I'd call Spring feature-rich than bloated. You can always shed weight that you don't want to carry.
> Plus there's multiple ways of doing the same thing. e.g. JPA, spring-data.
That's because there are different ways to solve a problem. Someone may want an ORM-based approach to connect to the database; they can choose spring-data-jpa. Someone may want to use JDBC with a light abstraction on top of it; they can choose spring-data-jdbc. It's all about choices and right tradeoffs and Spring offers plenty of them.
> they don't provide easy upgrade paths between majors versions
That's not my experience. I've been happily upgrading 2.x.x versions and plan to upgrade to 3.2.x when it is ready. But depending on the codebase, I admit it can be painful. Projects like OpenRewrite[1] might help here.

updating vulnerabilities on older major versions.
This is not news. They want you to pay for extended support if you need it.
> No docs on migration.
They do maintain migration docs on GitHub wiki which are a lot more detailed than their blog posts on migration. Here's the latest one to upgrade from Spring Boot 2 to 3: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-B...
