BEST PRACTICES
WHAT IS SPRING BOOT ? Don't use the **default** package. Prefer using
the Java convention *com.example.project*
Built on top of a lot of Spring Projects
(https://spring.io) Code structure
Opinionated configuration
Wide ecosystem com

Start a project faster with no configuration + example

| + project
