- An embedded server is a web server bundled with your application, making it self-contained and independent of external server setups. It's important because it simplifies deployment and eliminates the need for external server configuration, making your application easier to run and distribute.

**10. What is the default embedded server with Spring Boot?**

- The default embedded server with Spring Boot is Apache Tomcat. It's automatically included when you create a new Spring Boot project.

**11. What are the other embedded servers supported by Spring Boot?**

- Spring Boot supports various embedded servers, including Jetty and Undertow. You can easily switch to another embedded server by adding the corresponding dependency to your project.

**12. What are Starter Projects?**

- Starter Projects are opinionated templates provided by Spring Boot. They include pre-configured sets of dependencies, which simplify the setup of various types of applications. Starter Projects are designed to get you started quickly with common use cases.

- Some important Starter Projects include:
- `spring-boot-starter-web`: Used for building web applications.
- `spring-boot-starter-data-jpa`: For data access with JPA.
- `spring-boot-starter-security`: Adds security features.
- `spring-boot-starter-actuator`: Includes production monitoring tools.

**14. What is Starter Parent?**

- Starter Parent is a special POM (Project Object Model) that defines common configurations and dependencies for all Spring Boot Starter Projects. It enforces consistent versions and dependency management, ensuring that all Starter Projects work together seamlessly.

**15. What are the different things that are defined in Starter Parent?**

- In Starter Parent, you'll find definitions for common properties, dependencies, and plugin configurations. This shared configuration ensures that all Starter Projects have compatible libraries and versions.

**16. How does Spring Boot enforce common dependency management for all its Starter projects?**

- Spring Boot enforces common dependency management by providing a parent POM (Starter Parent) that defines dependencies with specific versions. Starter projects inherit from this parent POM, ensuring that they all use the same versions of libraries. This consistency reduces the likelihood of version conflicts.

**17. What is Spring Initializr?**

- Spring Initializr is a web-based tool provided by the Spring team to generate Spring Boot projects. It allows you to choose the project's configuration, including dependencies, packaging, and version, and then generates a ready-to-use project structure.

**18. What is application.properties?**

- `application.properties` is a configuration file used in Spring Boot to specify properties that control various aspects of your application's behavior. It's an integral part of Spring Boot's externalized configuration approach.

**19. What are some of the important things that can be customized in application.properties?**

- You can customize numerous aspects of your application in `application.properties`, including server configuration (e.g., port, context path), database settings, logging configuration (e.g., log levels, file paths), and other application-specific properties.

**20. How do you externalize configuration using Spring Boot?**

- You can externalize configuration in Spring Boot by placing properties in external configuration files like `application.properties` or `application.yml`. These files can be located outside your application's JAR/WAR, making it easier to customize the application for different environments.

**21. How can you add custom application properties using Spring Boot?**

- To add custom properties, simply define them in your `application.properties` file, using the format `key=value`. For example:
