Spring Boot DevTools aims to enhance development productivity. It offers features like automatic restart, allowing the application to restart upon code changes. Live reload detects and reloads static resource changes without a full restart. Remote debugging enables remote debugging sessions.
DevTools provides developer-friendly defaults, such as disabling caching and showing detailed error pages. Integration with other tools, like Spring Boot Actuator, adds monitoring and configuration capabilities. These features accelerate development cycles, reduce manual effort, and improve overall productivity for developers using Spring Boot.
