Step 2. Create a New Spring Project
- Create a new spring boot project once your development environment is set up. Spring Initializr is a web-based tool that generated a starter project for you, you can customize the project by selecting the type of project and the dependencies that you want to use in the project, etc.

Step 5. Run the Application
- Build and run the application after writing the code. You can do this by using the Maven tool. After the application is started, you can send a request to it by using a web browser or Postman. You can add more features to the application, like adding a database, etc.
- Finally, look for the run icon on the top left side where you can click it, and the application runs.
