Spring framework is actually an Enterprise Java framework that lets you write Java applications.
And now take the definition of Spring Boot :
Spring Boot is a way in which you can bootstrap or quickly start up a Spring Application. We can build complex Applications with Spring Boot very easily. Also, we can say that In Spring Boot we can build production-ready applications.
Problems with Spring:
1). It is a very huge framework.
2). Multiple setup steps ( that is while we doing configuration then we have to follow multiple setup steps which are programmer wants to avoid).
3). Multiple configuration steps.
4). Multiple builds and deploy steps.
