Spring Boot has the largest ecosystem and enterprise adoption. Quarkus offers faster startup and lower memory (important for serverless). Server Compass supports both, with Spring Boot recommended for most enterprise use cases.

Server Compass uses multi-stage builds with Eclipse Temurin JDK. We configure proper JVM memory settings (-Xmx/-Xms), health checks via /actuator/health, and graceful shutdown for zero-downtime deployments.

Use application-prod.yml with environment variables for secrets. Server Compass injects environment variables securely and supports Spring Cloud Config for centralized configuration across microservices.
