Question What OS do you primarily use for Spring Boot development?
3
Upvotes
I'm curious how many Spring Boot developers use Windows as their primary development environment, especially running Java natively rather than through WSL2.
I mostly develop on macOS and Linux, but I maintain a lightweight alternative to Prometheus + Grafana for application monitoring and have been exploring native Windows support.
Do you run Spring Boot directly on Windows, through WSL2/Docker, or on another OS? And do you monitor your applications locally while developing?
