## What it is
SOFABoot is an open-source Java framework built on top of Spring Boot, fully compatible with it, that adds production-grade enhancements such as readiness checks, Spring context isolation, class isolation, and log space separation. It also packages SOFAStack middleware SDKs as self-contained starters for large-scale microservice deployments.

## Use cases
- add readiness checks to a Spring Boot application
- run modular Spring Boot apps with class isolation
- separate log configuration across SDKs in a Spring Boot app
- integrate SOFAStack middleware into Spring Boot services
- deploy large-scale microservices on Spring Boot
- isolate Spring contexts in a single application

## When to choose
- you already use Spring Boot and need readiness probes for Kubernetes or load balancers
- you want class or Spring context isolation for modular monoliths
- you use SOFAStack middleware and want seamless Spring Boot integration
- you run large-scale microservices needing better log space separation

## When to avoid
- you need only basic Spring Boot features without readiness or isolation
- you are not on the JVM or not using Spring
- you want a lightweight framework without enterprise middleware
- your team has no need for SOFAStack ecosystem components
