A triumphant man coding on two monitors, celebrating. Above him, glowing lines connect icons with 'spring' and 'Javalin' text.

**🎵 *“From Boot to Breeze (The Javalin Migration Song)”* 🎵** **(Verse 1)** I’ve been livin’ with a legacy, Controllers piled high on me, Annotations like a forest that I can’t see through. Every bean I try to wire, Sets another log on fire— Spring Boot, I still love you… but we’re through. **(Pre-Chorus)** And I found something lighter, A little framework that could— A breeze instead of thunder, A simple line of code that feels good. **(Chorus)** So I’m movin’ on, movin’ on, From Boot to a Javalin dawn. Shed the weight, clear the slate, No more XML to haul along. Yeah I’m glidin’ on, glidin’ on, Handlers clean and futures strong— I’m leavin’ behind that monolith mind, For the freedom where Javalin belongs. **(Verse 2)** All my endpoints got a makeover, Routes defined with flavor— `app.get("/hello")` never looked so fine. No more magic guessin’ games, Just Kotlin or Java, same— A minimal philosophy I can get behind. **(Pre-Chorus)** Sure I’ll miss Actuator, But Micrometer tags still shine. And I can bolt on what I need to, One small plugin at a time. **(Chorus)** Yeah I’m movin’ on, movin’ on, From Boot to a Javalin dawn. Shed the weight, clear the slate, My startup time’s a fraction now gone. I’m glidin’ on, glidin’ on, Took the whole team not too long— We refactored slow, rewrote the flow, ’Til the legacy ghosts were gone. **(Bridge)** Goodbye auto-config, You were powerful and big, But I’m runnin’ thin and fast these days. Hello lightweight stack, Feels good to travel See more
