Generate production-ready Spring Boot backends instantly — Authentication, Database, Docker, CI/CD, and AWS EC2 deployment included.
👉 Try Free via CLI • 🚀 Upgrade to Pro
Every new backend service starts the same way — same structure, auth setup, database config, security hardening, Docker, and CI/CD pipeline. Most developers rebuild this from scratch or copy-paste from a previous project every single time.
SpringGen is built around that repeated workflow. Whether you are a freelancer spinning up a new client backend, a founder building an MVP, or a developer starting another microservice — run the CLI or web UI, get a consistent production-ready backend, and start writing business logic.
No copy-pasting. No forgotten configs. No "how did I set this up last time."
SpringGen uses a deterministic template/module engine to assemble tested Spring Boot project structures, configurations, and production-ready components.
See SpringGen generate and deploy a production-ready Spring Boot application in minutes.
In this demo:
✅ Generate a Spring Boot project
✅ Run locally with Docker Compose
✅ Configure GitHub Actions secrets
✅ Push code to trigger CI/CD
✅ Automatically deploys to AWS EC2
✅ Verify production health endpoint
Spring Initializr gives you a project foundation — dependencies, build files, and a basic application entry point.
SpringGen starts where Initializr stops:
- Layered architecture with controllers, services, repositories
- DTO patterns and global exception handling
- Database configuration
- Authentication scaffolding (JWT, OAuth2)
- Security hardening
- Docker, CI/CD, and AWS deployment configuration
JHipster is a full-stack generator — frontend, backend, and ongoing project management through its ecosystem. Powerful if you want a complete application platform with built-in conventions.
SpringGen is backend-only and disappears after generation. No frontend opinions, no generator runtime dependencies left in your project, no new ecosystem to learn. Just clean, standard Spring Boot code you recognize and own from day one.
SpringGen sits between Initializr and JHipster — more structure than one, less ecosystem than the other.
SpringGen is useful for developers who know Spring Boot but want to move faster.
Ideal for:
- Backend developers building SaaS products
- Freelancers starting new client projects
- Startup founders creating MVP backends
- Engineers building multiple microservices
- Developers who want consistent project structure across projects
- Java/Spring developers who prefer writing business logic over repeating setup
SpringGen may not be ideal for:
- Developers looking for a Spring Boot learning tutorial
- Teams with existing internal platform templates
- Engineers who prefer manually configuring every project from scratch
- Projects requiring highly customized enterprise architecture from day one
Stop rebuilding the same production setup for every Spring Boot project.

Docker Application Running
Best for production workflows.
Use the generated deploy script on EC2
# 1. One-time setup
nano .env.prod
# 2. Deploy anytime
git pull origin main
./scripts/deploy-ec2.shBest for manual releases, testing, and full control over deployments.
