Spring Boot for Devops
summary
Spring Boot adds ready-made operational hooks: enable spring-boot-starter-actuator and get /metrics, /health and /info JSON endpoints plus HTTP status codes that flip to 5xx when a check fails. Embed build and Git data with git-commit-id-plugin into /info. Write custom checks by implementing HealthIndicator beans; expose Dropwizard metrics to JMX and push to Graphite (or use a JVM agent) from the MetricRegistry. Demo uses Spring PetClinic, shows readable JSON via spring.jackson.serialization.indent_output and moving endpoints under management.context-path — everything works in the demo with no extra application code.
