Containers modularize systems, abstracting them from physical platforms and allowing them to run anywhere.
The service containers provided by Integrations accomplish this modularization using Spring Boot™.
Spring Boot is an open-source Java-based framework that greatly simplifies Spring configuration and is often used to create stand-alone micro services. APIs built with it can be run on any JVM, but are especially suited to run within a containerization platform such as Docker, which combines the API with an operating system and all the libraries and dependencies required to run it.
