# seatunnel vs spring-boot

seatunnel and spring-boot share 8 technologies: Neo4j, MongoDB, Couchbase, jul-to-slf4j, org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api, slf4j-simple, org.slf4j:slf4j-api, and org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core. Both are written in Java.

- [apache/seatunnel](https://seerepo.com/r/apache/seatunnel): SeaTunnel is a multimodal, high-performance, distributed, massive data integration tool.
- [spring-projects/spring-boot](https://seerepo.com/r/spring-projects/spring-boot): Spring Boot helps you to create Spring-powered, production-grade applications and services with absolute minimum fuss.
