Spring is a popular open-source application framework for developing high-performance Java EE (Enterprise Edition) applications. It provides infrastructure-level support so that developers can easily create apps without being bound to a specific deployment environment. Spring utilizes an Inversion of Control (IoC) container to configure, connect, and manage the lifecycles of various POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects), using “reflection” to modify an app’s structure and behavior at runtime and the "Convention Over Configuration" design paradigm to minimize the amount of coding needed to create an app.
Spring provides modular support for RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) and NoSQL database structures, mobile compatibility, transaction management for Java objects using APIs, and configurable authentication and authorization functionalities through the Spring Security Framework. For developers and operations teams building and managing applications built on the Spring framework, the AppDynamics platform provides a comprehensive solution for monitoring and managing the performance of your Java applications. With rapid installation and the most scalable architecture in the industry, AppDynamics solutions help you deploy your applications more quickly and with more confidence.
