## How to build performance-efficient Spring Boot applications One of the most important things to consider when building Spring Boot applications is performance. In this blog post, I will share some tips on how to build performance-efficient Spring Boot applications. **Choose the right Spring Boot starter dependencies** Spring Boot starters are pre-configured dependency bundles that provide all of the dependencies you need to build a specific type of application. When choosing Spring Boot starters, be careful to only choose the ones that you need. The more dependencies you have, the larger your application will be and the slower it will start up. > "The secret to building performance-efficient Spring Boot applications is to use the right tools for the job. Choose the right Spring Boot starter dependencies and avoid using unnecessary dependencies." **Use caching** Caching is a technique that can be used to improve the performance of your application by storing frequently accessed data in memory. Spring Boot provides a number of built-in caching solutions, such as EhCache and Caffeine. You can also use third-party caching solutions, such as Redis or Memcached. > "Caching is like a superhero for performance-efficient Spring Boot applications. It can save the day by storing frequently accessed data in memory and reducing the number of database queries." **Minimize database queries** Database queries are one of the most expensive operations that your application can perf
