Run Spring Boot Locally with FlyEnv

Spring Boot services commonly run with a Java runtime and may connect to a database, Redis, and a local reverse proxy. FlyEnv manages those environment services alongside the application.

Local project stack

Services FlyEnv can manage around Spring Boot

  • Java
  • PostgreSQL / MySQL
  • Redis
  • Nginx / Caddy

About Spring Boot

Spring Boot is a Java framework for building stand-alone, production-ready services.

Project resources

For installation commands, supported versions, and project-specific configuration, refer to the official Spring Boot documentation.

Typical local stack

The exact services depend on the project, its release, and its local configuration. This is a common local setup, not a fixed requirement.

  • Java
  • PostgreSQL / MySQL
  • Redis
  • Nginx / Caddy
ComponentTypical role
JavaRuns the Spring Boot application.
PostgreSQL / MySQLMay store service data.
RedisMay support caching or messaging patterns.
Nginx / CaddyMay proxy a local service domain.

How FlyEnv helps

  • Select the Java runtime

    Use the JDK version required by the service.

  • Keep data services local

    Run the project database without mixing it into other stacks.

  • Start Redis when configured

    Keep cache and supporting services available only where needed.

  • Expose a local service URL

    Configure domains and HTTPS for integration testing when useful.

Set up the local environment

Project installation stays with the upstream documentation. FlyEnv manages the runtimes, databases, web servers, and supporting services around it.

  1. 1Follow the project build documentation for its Gradle or Maven workflow.
  2. 2Select the Java runtime required by the service.
  3. 3Start the database selected in the Spring configuration.
  4. 4Start Redis only when the application configuration uses it.
  5. 5Configure a local domain and reverse proxy for service testing when needed.
  6. 6Group the service and its dependencies for repeatable local starts.
