Is it worth to learn Java-Springboot even today?

Hi,
I am a frontend-engineer and thinking of switching to backend and learn some backend technologies. The company that I am working with uses Springboot-java for the backend. I am a little confused as to which tech stack should I pick. Please share your thoughts.

It depends. Spring it’s widely used in large enterprise applications. I suggest you to make a short tutorial and see the benefits of using spring by yourself. Spring Boot allows you to make robots, secure, production-ready microservices in no time. Personally I love it.

If doesn't matter what technology it is, if you have opportunity to work in real world project, go ahead and learn it. I have learned many technologies over the years and I forgot most of them. Reason? I never got chance to apply my skill in real project. Yeah, Java-Springboot is worth learning as you will get chance to work on it.

Yeah! You will probably like it. I'll suggest you to read Baeldung and Vlad Mihalcea blog, with these two you can learn a lot about java + spring + database.
If when you start you fell that java is not for you, you can give a try to C#-AspNet core.

Quarkus + Kotlin + JOOQ for happiness. SpringBoot + Java + Hibernate for jobs.

Yes. Although new frameworks are coming up like Quarkus and Micronaut to name a few but Spring eco system still shines due to it's vast set of modules practically for every known problems. It is still the mostly used . Learn Spring Boot understand its pros and cons , keep an watch for the other frameworks understand what values each of them brings and you will have a strong resume.
