Does REST APIs defined in Spring Boot handles multi threading automatically

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I want to create a REST API in spring boot which can handle around 100TPS. Lets say I create a basic REST api using a sample application in spring boot. Does this automatically handles multi threading. Lets consider the code bellow.

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value="findByPackageActivationId")
@ResponseBody
public JSONObject findByPackageActivationId(@RequestBody IncomingRestObject incomingRestObject) {
    //My work here
}

By default Spring Boot web applications are multi-threaded and will handle multiple requests concurrently.REST controller is multithreaded as the DisptcherServlet handles multiple requests from the clients concurrently and serves using the respective controller methods.You can change any of the default thread settings as well (e.g. server.tomcat.max-threads).
