Spring Boot Pet Clinic App: A Performance Study

Spring pet clinic application is a sample application developed by the Spring Framework developers to demonstrate the capabilities of Spring Boot, Spring MVC, and Spring Data Framework. We set out to conduct a performance test on this application and see whether we can identify any performance bottlenecks.

Environment Setup

We cloned the Spring pet clinic application’s official Github repository and followed instructions to build a JAR file. Once the JAR file was ready, we launched the application on http://localhost:8080.
