Arconia for Spring Boot: Dev Services, Automated Migrations, and Seamless Workflows by Thomas Vitale

This talk, presented at Spring I/O 2026 in Barcelona, delves into Arconia, an open-source framework aimed at enhancing Spring Boot development workflows. The speaker discusses common challenges such as inconsistent development environments and repetitive configuration tasks, offering solutions through five key features of Arconia. These include a streamlined development mode that automates profile configuration, simplified infrastructure provisioning with zero-code setup, a built-in development console for application management, a user-friendly CLI for project operations, and modernization tools for effortless framework upgrades. The session highlights how these capabilities allow developers to focus on building robust applications within the Spring ecosystem.
