What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run".

What differentiates Spring Boot from other similar products?

Spring Boot shines with streamlined development, an embedded web server, reduced boilerplate code, strong community support, versatility, and faster time-to-market, setting it apart from the rest.
