Accelerate Spring Boot Projects with Pig4Cloud’s Fast Start Platform

Background

Using start.spring.io may encounter slow network access.

Projects generated by start.aliyun.com are redundant and not suitable for quick use.

Usage

Directly visit and add dependencies, then generate via https://start.pig4cloud.com

Modification Points

Complete .gitignore to avoid useless commits.

Add .editorconfig to unify editor rules.

Generate yml by default instead of properties.

Add maven test as a default dependency to solve JUnit slowdown.

Reject slow access; the site is CDN accelerated.

Local Deployment

Related images have been uploaded to DockerHub; you can run the following command:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
    pig4cloud/start-server:0.0.1

http://ip:8080
In the end, I don’t like the new version initializr style, so I didn’t base on the new version.
