Spring Boot for Tanzu GemFire provides the convenience of Spring Boot’s convention over configuration approach by using auto-configuration with Spring Framework’s powerful abstractions and highly consistent programming model to simplify the development of VMware GemFire applications in a Spring context.

This project is a continuation and a logical extension to Spring Data for VMware GemFire’s Annotation-based configuration model, and the goals set forth in that model:

To enable application developers to get up and running as quickly, reliably, and as easily as possible.

In fact, Spring Boot for Tanzu GemFire automatically applies auto-configuration to several key use cases including, but not limited to:

• Cache-Aside, Inline, and Near
• System of Record (SOR)
• Transactions
• Distributed Computations
• Continuous Queries
• Data Serialization
• Data Initialization
• Spring Boot Actuator
• HTTP Session state management

This initial set of documentation is meant to get users up and running quickly with Spring Boot for Tanzu GemFire.
