Spring Boot Introduction and Base Pom

2. Embed tomcat, Jetty or undertow directly without the need to deploy the war file

3. Provide the recommended base POM file to simplify Apache Maven configuration

4. Automatically configure the spring framework based on project dependencies as much as possible

5. Provide production-ready features such as indicators, health checks, external configurations
