How Netflix Is Upgrading to Spring Boot 3

Speaker:
Asi Bross, Netflix
In this talk, you will learn from Netflix about the journey to upgrade its ecosystem of approximately 3,000 applications to Spring Boot 3. Netflix has a framework built on top of Spring Boot that integrates with the security, observability and other infrastructure required to build applications at Netflix. In this session, Netflix will share what was learned from maintaining such a framework, and what changes are being made based on 3.x. You will also learn about the tools Netflix uses to roll out such a big change to a large number of applications and what challenges are being run into.

Does spring boot upgradation along with jdk 17 bring performance improvement in terms of application response time?

Does Netflix use Native Images to reduce startup time?

[@asibross]

We don't. We evaluated GraalVM Native images but found that the complexity and tradeoffs outweigh the benefits. For certain workloads (like batch) where start up time is essential, we got great results by reducing our dependencies footprint, using CDS in JDK19+ and leveraging Spring AOT.
