Spring Boot keeps evolving to make containerized applications simpler, faster and more efficient, but many developers still use outdated or suboptimal approaches. In this session, we will explore what's new in Spring Boot 3.x for building and running applications in containers. From optimized Dockerfiles and layered JARs to Buildpacks and GraalVM, you will have a better overview about how to create smarter images. We will also cover how Spring Boot integrates seamlessly with Docker Compose, Testcontainers and Kubernetes for local development, testing and scaling. Expect live demos, practical examples and tips to modernize your container workflow. Additionally we take a glimpse on the new Docker Model runner feature and it’s integration with Spring AI.
Key takeaways:
- Understand the latest Spring Boot container optimizacions
- Learn best practices for building efficient Docker images
- Discover how to integrate Spring Boot with Compose, Testcontainers and Kubernetes
- Get actionable insights for improving startup time, image size and CI/CD performance
Target audience:
Developers, DevOps engineers and architects using Spring Boot who want to modernize their container strategy and get hands-on with the newest tools and integrations.
