Stay away. There is a lot of legacy Java and Spring Boot code but it can be maintained via Claude. New development is being done in Go and Rust.

Look at the career pages of Bay area tech companies. In addition to Go and Rust you should know Python and AI (training ML models).
Java was the hot skill 25 years ago but not anymore. If you are deploying via Docker better to push a native executable rather than the whole JRE hence shilft to Go/Rust.
