HikariCP is a 'zero-overhead' production ready JDBC connection pool.

Spring Boot auto-configuration attempts to automatically configure your Spring application based on the jar dependencies that you have added.

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can 'just run'. It takes an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries so you can get started with minimum configuration.

Quartz is a job scheduling library that can be embedded in java applications with support for transactions, persistence, clustering and plugins.
