In the Java world, Spring Boot has long been the go-to framework for building robust modern applications. But with Micronaut gaining traction, developers are starting to ask: is it time for a new standard?

• What is Micronaut and how it differs from Spring Boot;

• A simple “Hello World” demo;

• Performance comparison: startup time, memory footprint, and latency;

• Cloud integrations and serverless compatibility;

• Ecosystem overview: docs, libraries, plugins, and community;

• Quirks, features, and practical lessons;
