In computing, microservices is a software architecture style, in which complex applications are composed of small, independent processes communicating with each other using language-agnostic APIs.[1] These services are small, highly decoupled and focus on doing a small task

Product vs Project 

tend to serve one business capablility at a time

Decentralized : CI pipeline, Automated build, testing and development 

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run". We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries so you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.

Based on Popular Spring Framework

Large community support

Good Documentation

Experience in Spring based Java project

Short development time

Simple 

choice of container Embadded Tomcat, Jetty, Undertow

Configuration support: YAML, property files, env. variables, command-line arguments.

And many more ...
