" summary

Shows a concrete stack and exact practices: use Spring Cloud Config with a single Git repo (or composed backends), encrypted secrets via the /encrypt and /decrypt endpoints, bootstrap.yml pointing clients to the server, clone-on-start and multiple server instances behind a load balancer. Add Spring Boot Actuator with /health and custom HealthIndicator beans, use refresh and Spring Cloud Bus for pushes. Add distributed tracing with Spring Cloud Sleuth (trace/span/parent IDs), ship logs to ELK/Zipkin and locate a user-reported fault to root cause in 2 minutes.
