Developer Tools

Learn how the Spring Boot devtools module improves development time.

We created a simple RecommendationsController in the last lesson that received a request from localhost/movies and returned a list of movies. If we make a change in the movies to be returned by the controller and execute the service again, the change will not be picked up unless the server is stopped and started again. Restarting the application takes a long time and doing that over and over again causes unwanted delays at the developer’s end.
