SUBSCRIBE TO RAM N JAVASpring Boot: Switching to Jetty with Gradle
By default, Spring Boot uses Tomcat as its web server. But did you know you can swap it for Jetty? Jetty is known for being lightweight and efficient, making it a great choice for modern, high-performance applications.
Why Choose Jetty?
Think of Tomcat as a reliable family SUV—it's great for most things. Jetty, on the other hand, is like a sleek sports car. It's often faster to start up and uses less memory, which is perfect if you're running your apps in small containers or cloud environments.
The Gradle Magic Trick
To make the switch, we use Gradle. It only takes two simple steps in your configuration file:
1. Saying Goodbye to Tomcat
First, we tell Spring Boot not to include the default Tomcat server. In Gradle, we simply "exclude" it from the web starter dependency. This keeps our application clean and lean.
2. Welcoming Jetty
Next, we add the Jetty starter dependency. Gradle will automatically go out, find the right version of Jetty, and plug it into your Spring Boot project. It's that easy!
When Should You Switch?
- When you need your app to start super fast.
- When you are working with limited memory (RAM).
- When you want to handle a huge number of simultaneous connections efficiently.
