| Technical Lead at Cellulant Kenya | 3.5 | I find Spring Cloud valuable for building cloud-native applications and APIs, as it allows faster startup compared to standard Spring Boot applications. However, I believe it could become more lightweight and efficient for better cloud transition support. |
| Solution Architect & Group Lead at AppEnsure Inc. | 3.5 | I use Spring Cloud for managing microservices, particularly with Eureka Server for routing requests efficiently across multiple instances. While it simplifies configuration, stability needs improvement. So far, I haven't identified other areas requiring enhancement as we continue our work. |
