@ComponentScan annotations.

3. How does auto-configuration work in Spring Boot?

It auto-configures based on classpath settings, properties, and beans using

@EnableAutoConfiguration.

4. What are Spring Boot starters, and why are they useful?

They are dependency descriptors that group libraries, simplifying dependency

management.

5. How does Spring Boot simplify dependency management?

It uses a parent POM that manages library versions automatically.

Configuration & Profiles

6. How do you externalize configurations (properties vs YAML)?

Use application.properties or application.yml for configuration.

7. What are Spring Profiles and how do you use them?


Profiles allow environment-specific configuration. Activate with

Add starter dependency and define a SecurityConfig class.

16. How do you implement JWT authentication?

Generate JWT on login, validate in filters, use stateless sessions.

Advanced Concepts

17. How does Spring Boot support embedded servers?

Uses embedded Tomcat by default; can switch via dependencies.

18. What are custom starters?

Reusable modules with grouped dependencies and configs.

19. How does Spring Boot handle @Async?

With @EnableAsync and @Async to run methods asynchronously.

20. Performance tuning strategies?
