SpringBoot is a framework that makes it easy to create Spring-based applications and services. It provides starter dependencies, centralized configuration, production-ready features, and good testing capabilities out of the box. While static content serving and mixing Jersey and Spring MVC can be issues, overall SpringBoot simplifies development. Apache Camel is an open source integration framework that uses enterprise integration patterns to provide a library of pre-built components for connecting applications together. It has many components but documentation is limited, creating a learning curve.
