A Spring Boot starter that lets developers build WebSocket servers on top of Netty using annotation-driven configuration similar to spring-websocket. It provides annotations like @ServerEndpoint, @OnOpen, @OnMessage, and @OnClose to handle WebSocket lifecycle events with high performance.

Use cases

• build a websocket server in spring boot
• create a real-time chat application with netty
• handle websocket connections with annotations
• implement an instant messaging backend in java
• replace spring-websocket with a netty-based alternative
• add bidirectional real-time communication to a spring boot app

When to choose

• you need a high-performance websocket server in a Spring Boot application
• you prefer annotation-based websocket endpoint development similar to spring-websocket
• you want Netty's performance without writing low-level Netty handlers

When to avoid

• you need a websocket client rather than a server
• you are not using Spring Boot or the JVM
• you need full control over Netty's pipeline configuration
