summer-sandal is a personal learning project inspired by Spring Boot. The name is a wordplay on spring-boot, and the implementation reflects what I learned from studying Spring Boot code and documentation in my own style.

Under development. Don't use in production.

This repository is built for learning, not for production use. It is an experiment to understand Spring ecosystem internals by rebuilding key ideas in a simplified and opinionated way.

• summer-framework: Core module for learning Spring Framework-style internals
• summer-sandal: Top-level module for learning Spring Boot-style composition on top of summer-framework

• JDK 21
