    If you're into this sort of thing, there's OpenRewrite[1] for the Java ecosystem.

    > Spring has gotten so bloated.

    I'd call Spring feature-rich than bloated. You can always shed weight that you don't want to carry.

    > Plus there's multiple ways of doing the same thing. e.g. JPA, spring-data.

    That's because there are different ways to solve a problem. Someone may want an ORM-based approach to connect to the database; they can choose spring-data-jpa. Someone may want to use JDBC with a light abstraction on top of it; they can choose spring-data-jdbc. It's all about choices and right tradeoffs and Spring offers plenty of them.

    > they don't provide easy upgrade paths between majors versions

    That's not my experience. I've been happily upgrading 2.x.x versions and plan to upgrade to 3.2.x when it is ready. But depending on the codebase, I admit it can be painful. Projects like OpenRewrite[1] might help here.

    > and they stop updating vulnerabilities on older major versions.

    This is not news. They want you to pay for extended support if you need it.

    > No docs on migration.

    They do maintain migration docs on GitHub wiki which are a lot more detailed than their blog posts on migration. Here's the latest one to upgrade from Spring Boot 2 to 3: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-B...

    The issue you may run into when migrating from Spring Boot 2.x to 3.x is the JEE namespace renames. Migrating code from 8 to 17 in my experience hasn't been all that difficult. In most projects, there are no changes to make. However, with the namespace change, you'll probably have to do some planning and testing. If you are migrating a lot of projects, check out Open Rewrite, it may help automate a lot of these upgrades (for both 8 to 17 and Spring Boot versions).

    In a similar vein there is OpenRewrite which is an open-source project that works in a similar way. It also has a lot of great refactorings already built in, like doing all the grunt work for migrating to JUnit 5, or replacing string concatenation in SLF4J log calls with parameterized formatting.
