Our review
Pros	Combines SSR, client-side rendering, prerendering, and SPA support. Includes file-based routing, data loading, form actions, and preloading. Adapters and integrations support several hosting environments.	Embedded Tomcat, Jetty, or Undertow servers simplify deployment. Starter dependencies and automatic configuration reduce setup work. Health checks, metrics, and management endpoints support operations.
