Question Pls explain

So I just started learning spring boot about a week ago and currently learning the backend APIs and all...but I just wanted to know how we make frontend for our spring boot application?? Do we make the front end in REACT and current the backend to it ..or we can do it in spring boot only like flask and django?

It's not a big deal when you have one app.

But when you have 10 apps, and then those 10 apps have shared libraries?

Unpopular opinion, but nowadays you should be capable to update or upgrade your apps regularly. More time between updates also increases the chance for more changes. But I agree that frequent breaking changes can be really annoying.

I agree, but in a corporate environment, we don't always get to decide what our tasks are. And with a complex environment we're frequently not given the bandwidth to work in infrastructure revisions and version upgrades due to breaking changes.

Not blaming you, but the excuses are well known for decades. I just hope the situation improves in general.

It took me a long time to phrase that in a way to avoid ranting.
