Thorsten Frieling – Senior Developer & Projektmanager, Groenewold IT Solutions

“Spring Boot accelerates Java services—without clear layers and integration tests conveniences turn into magical framework dust.”

Thorsten Frieling, Senior Developer & Project Manager, Groenewold IT Solutions

Spring in practice

Domain-driven modules, OpenAPI-first contracts, Testcontainers for integration tests and traceable releases keep Spring applications auditable and extensible. For microservice landscapes we rely on clear API contracts, discovery and resilient clients – aligned with your infrastructure.

Security & compliance

OAuth2/OIDC, role-based access and logging for evidence – e.g. around ISO 27001 or industry rules.

Integration

REST, messaging, batch: connect PLM/MES, ERP and partner APIs with robust error handling.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Spring

What is Spring?
Spring is a Java framework for enterprise web, microservices and system integration. It is used by developers worldwide and provides robust solutions for professional software projects. Groenewold IT Solutions has extensive experience with Spring projects.
When should you use Spring?
Spring is particularly suited to enterprise web, microservices and system integration. We recommend Spring when you need a future-proof, maintainable solution. In a free initial consultation we assess whether Spring is the right choice for your project.
What does Spring development cost?
The cost of Spring development depends on the project scope: small projects from €5,000, mid-sized applications €20,000–80,000, complex systems accordingly more. After an initial call we provide a transparent cost estimate.
What are the alternatives to Spring?
Alternatives to Spring include Jakarta EE, Quarkus, Micronaut. The right technology depends on your requirements. We advise you in a technology-neutral way and recommend the best solution for your project.
Do you offer Spring training?
Yes, we offer Spring training and workshops for development teams. From fundamentals to advanced topics, we share hands-on knowledge. We also provide code reviews and mentoring for your Spring projects.
What is the Spring framework suited for?
Spring Boot is the leading framework for Java back ends: web APIs, microservices and system integration. It is designed for large, long-lived enterprise systems – at the core of our enterprise software development.
When is Spring Boot the right choice for microservices?
Spring Boot is very well suited for microservices when a mature Java ecosystem counts. For minimal startup times we evaluate Quarkus or GraalVM. We make the decision during the architecture – also in light of monolith vs. microservices.
How does Spring integrate into existing system landscapes?
Spring integrates databases, message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and REST/SOAP. Via Spring Integration and Batch we model complex data flows robustly – at the core of API integration and system integration.
How do you secure Spring applications (security, compliance)?
With Spring Security we implement OAuth2/OIDC, SSO, role-based access and method security. Combined with validation, secret management and audits, this creates a robust level – matching GDPR-compliant development.
Can you modernise existing Spring applications?
Yes. We raise Spring and Java versions, migrate to Spring Boot and cut monoliths into services where needed – step by step and test-driven as part of the legacy modernization, safeguarded by QA and testing.
