# /mir-backend-jvm-spring · Make It Right (Spring Boot)
Bottom tier of the chain: `mir-backend` (generic gates) → `mir-backend-jvm` (JVM runtime model) → **this** (Spring Boot / Spring Data library mechanics). Run the gates first; load the JVM runtime tier for threading, GC, and container-heap concerns; reach for *this* at Gate 5 (design mechanics), Gate 6 (implementation), and Gate 7 review. **Runtime-level concerns (virtual-thread pinning, pool sizing, GC tuning, `-XX:MaxRAMPercentage`, ThreadLocal hygiene) live in `mir-backend-jvm` — not here.**
**Stack assumed:** Spring Boot 4.x · Spring Framework 7 · Spring Security 7 · Spring Data JPA (Hibernate 7.x, the version Boot 4 manages) · Spring MVC or WebFlux · PostgreSQL / MySQL. Notes call out WebFlux divergences explicitly.
**Version and support status, verified 13 Aug 2026:**
| Line | Status | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| **Spring Boot 4.1** | Current. Released 30 Jun 2026; OSS support to 31 Jul 2027 | Target for new work |
| **Spring Boot 4.0** | Released 30 Nov 2025; OSS support ends 31 Dec 2026 | Plan the 4.1 bump now |
| **Spring Boot 3.5** | **OSS support ended 30 Jun 2026** (last OSS release 3.5.16). Commercial support to Jun 2032 | No free patches — new Spring CVEs are fixed in 4.x and, for paying customers, in 3.5.x. An unpatched 3.5 app is an unpatched app |
| Spring Boot 3.4 and older | Out of OSS support | Upgrade path is 3.5 → clear every deprecation → 4.x. Do not jump from 3.2/3.3 straight to 4 |
