Most Spring Boot file upload tutorials work great...
...until real users start uploading files together and your server starts fighting for its life.
Tested uploads under real load and documented the bottlenecks here:

@cheese_cakee_9 This is the kind of engineering experience that teaches more than 20 tutorial projects combined.
Building something from scratch that other developers will depend on is a completely different level. Huge congrats 👏
Developers in tutorials:
“Build a scalable distributed microservice architecture in 15 minutes.”
Developers in real life:
spent 3 hours debugging because the .env file had one extra space.
@gpkpavan143 Spring Boot auto configuration feels like:
“Don’t worry bro, I handled everything for you.”
Until one tiny config changes and now the app won’t even start 😭
Spring Boot is honestly one of the greatest developer productivity tools ever made.
You add 3 dependencies.
Write 20 lines of code.
Suddenly there’s:
authentication
database connection
REST APIs
metrics
security
scheduled jobs
Everything works.
You feel unstoppable.
Then one bean fails to autowire and now you’re reading stack traces like ancient prophecy scrolls at 2 AM.
@alexabelonix Spring Boot errors always start with:
“Failed to load ApplicationContext”
Very cool.
That definitely narrows it down to the entire application.
@leerob The "everyone becomes a builder" theory sounds great until production goes down at 2 AM and suddenly everyone starts looking for the engineer. 😅
