JAVA DEVELOPER ECOSYSTEM GUIDE

Spring Boot 4 • Tools • DevOps • Communities • Build Plan • 2025 Updated

Yeh guide specifically Java + Spring Boot developers ke liye hai. 30-day exploration plan ka Java version —
kaunse tools explore karo, kahan se seekho, kya build karo, aur kahan connect karo. Sab kuch 2025 ke
hisaab se updated hai.

JAVA DEVELOPER KA ECOSYSTEM — BIG PICTURE

Java developer sirf Spring Boot nahi likhta. Ek modern Java developer ka poora stack kuch aisa dikhta hai:

YOUR CODE DATABASE MESSAGING CONTAINER CLOUD MONITORIN

(Spring (PostgreSQL (Kafka / (Docker / (AWS / G
Boot) / Redis) RabbitMQ) K8s) Railway) (Prometheus
/ Sentry)

Inme se sab ek saath seekhna zaroori nahi — lekin pata hona chahiye ki yeh sab exist karta hai aur kya karta hai.
Yahi exposure gap fill karna hai.
🌿 LAYER 1 — SPRING ECOSYSTEM (Most Important)
