Spring Boot Cluster on MassiveGRID PaaS
The Auto-Scalable Spring Boot Cluster deploys Spring Boot applications as executable JARs on several Java Engine nodes behind an NGINX load balancer, with auto-scaling triggers and built-in SSL. It is the fastest route from a Spring Boot repository to a load-balanced, highly available deployment on MassiveGRID PaaS.
Both buttons open the MassiveGRID PaaS dashboard with Spring Boot Cluster pre-selected. The trial needs no credit card.

What is Spring Boot Cluster?
Spring Boot is the dominant framework for Java microservices and web applications, packaging an embedded server so applications run as a single JAR. Production still needs more than one instance for availability, a balancer to spread traffic, SSL termination and a way to add capacity under load. This package provides that topology pre-configured.
Each Java Engine node runs your JAR with a JVM sized to its cloudlets. NGINX in front distributes requests and terminates SSL with the platform's built-in certificate. When CPU or memory thresholds are crossed, the platform adds nodes, deploys the same JAR and updates the balancer. A sample application is deployed so the cluster is verifiably working before you push your own build.
What the Spring Boot Cluster Package Deploys
Marketplace packages are not bare container images. One click provisions a complete, production-shaped environment on MassiveGRID infrastructure.
- Java Engine nodes: Two or more lightweight Java containers running your Spring Boot JAR, scaled horizontally on load.
- NGINX load balancer: SSL termination and request distribution with health checks and optional sticky sessions.
- Built-in SSL: HTTPS on the platform subdomain from the first minute (available for verified accounts), with Let's Encrypt for custom domains.
- Sample application and deployment hooks: A running sample so you can test immediately, plus dashboard and Git deployment for your own builds.
Why Teams Choose Spring Boot Cluster
JAR in, cluster out
Upload or Git-deploy an executable JAR; the platform runs it on every node.
Horizontal auto-scaling
Instance count follows load, with the balancer updated automatically.
Stateless-friendly
Pair with a Redis cluster for shared sessions and caching across instances.
How to Install Spring Boot Cluster on MassiveGRID PaaS
Installing the package takes three steps and a few minutes of waiting. No servers to provision, no configuration files to edit.
Open the installer
Click Install with free trial or Install to my account. The MassiveGRID PaaS dashboard opens with the Spring Boot Cluster package pre-selected, so nothing has to be copied or pasted.
Sign up or sign in
New to the platform? Sign up for the free 14-day trial, which needs no credit card. Existing customers sign in with their usual dashboard credentials.
Choose region and deploy
Name the environment, pick New York, London, Frankfurt or Singapore, and confirm. The platform builds every Spring Boot Cluster node, wires them together and hands you the live URL and credentials.
Who Runs Spring Boot Cluster on PaaS
REST APIs and microservices
Spring Boot services that must stay up and scale with request volume.
Web applications with Thymeleaf or SPA front ends
Customer-facing apps needing redundancy and SSL without container orchestration.
Teams avoiding Kubernetes
Java shops that want load-balanced deployments with a simpler operational model.
Why Run Spring Boot Cluster on MassiveGRID PaaS
Built for uptime. Spring Boot Cluster runs on MassiveGRID's high-availability platform, where every environment is covered by a 100% uptime SLA. Nodes live on redundant hosts, storage is replicated, and failed containers are restarted or migrated automatically.
Pay for what you use. Billing is hourly and per cloudlet (128 MiB RAM plus 400 MHz CPU). Vertical auto-scaling adds and removes cloudlets as load changes, so a quiet Spring Boot Cluster environment costs a few dollars a month and a busy one grows without a migration. Full details are on the PaaS page.
Your choice of jurisdiction. Deploy in New York, London, Frankfurt or Singapore and keep data inside the region your users or regulators require. MassiveGRID is ISO 9001 certified and GDPR compliant, and has run hosting infrastructure since 2003.
No lock-in. The package is a standard Jelastic Packaging Standard (JPS) manifest. You keep root-level access to the containers, can export the manifest, and can move the workload to any other Jelastic-compatible platform or to your own servers at any time.
