 = Integrate with Spring
 
-You can integrate Hazelcast with Spring and this section explains the
-configuration of Hazelcast within Spring context.
+https://spring.io/[Spring] is a popular framework for writing enterprise-grade Java applications. https://spring.io/projects/spring-framework[Spring Framework] includes a range of libraries to reduce the need for boilerplate code and encourages a consistent structure for ease of maintenance. https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot[Spring Boot] further simplifies development by automatically configuring applications on your classpath.
 
-Supported Versions are Spring 4.3 and higher releases and the latest
-tested Spring version is 5.3.
+Hazelcast Platform is integrated with the Spring Framework and Spring Boot, allowing you to easily incorporate Hazelcast's fast data cache capabilities into your Spring applications.
+
+== Why use Hazelcast with Spring?
+
+You can use Hazelcast to enhance your Spring applications with caching and session replication.
+
+**Cache** - You can use Hazelcast as a Spring cache manager or a JCache-compliant cache, as described in the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/reference/io/caching.html#io.caching.provider.hazelcast[Spring Boot documentation].
+
+**Hibernate second-level cache** - You can use Hazelcast as a second-level cache in the https://hibernate.org/[Hibernate] framework.
+
+**Session replication** - You can use Hazelcast to replicate session data across multiple web applications or microservices. Hazelcast provides xref:plugins:web-session-replication[plugins] for several web servers, including Spring's default web server, Tomcat.
+
+Using Spring also makes it easier to work with Hazelcast. You can:
+
+* Autowire Hazelcast objects, such as the distributed map (IMap), without needing to configure a Hazelcast member first. Spring Boot automatically configures a Hazelcast member if Hazelcast is on the classpath.
+* Use `@SpringAware` annotation on Hazelcast objects to enable dependency injection inside classes processed by Hazelcast, such as `EntryProcessor` and `Callable`.
+* Reduce the configuration needed to set up Hazelcast.
+
+== Architecture options
+
+You can embed Hazelcast members in the same Java process as your Spring application or deploy them separately in a client/server topology. See xref:deploy:choosing-a-deployment-option.adoc[].
+
+== Supported Spring Framework versions
+
+Supported: 5.3.39 and newer
+
+Latest tested: 6.2.0
