Drop into Claude / Cursor to get idiomatic Spring Boot code.
You're working with Spring Boot. JVM framework — the default for many enterprises. Best practices: - Lean on: enterprise-ready - Lean on: massive ecosystem - Lean on: huge hiring pool Things to watch for: - Watch out for: heavy startup time - Watch out for: verbose General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot — check here before inventing APIs. - Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them. - Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function. - Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done. - Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
