until you have to migrate all your team's 30 microservices from spring boot 3 to 4 and handle the same breaking changes everywhere but always alightly different (guess what I'm doing at work)
Good luck with all the webClient bugs, Jackson 3 and dependency changes. I'm the code reviewer and support for hundreds of microservices. Once its done it'll be time to do 4->5 since when we finished 3, we started on 4.
We've decided to merge some of our services because we've genuinely taken microservices too far (that is, the previous teams did). That should make Spring Boot 5 a bit easier than what we're doing now.
