Spring Boot Actuator

Adds production-ready monitoring endpoints — health checks, metrics, environment info — with almost no code.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
</dependency>
  • /actuator/health — liveness/readiness checks for load balancers & Kubernetes
  • /actuator/metrics — JVM, HTTP and custom application metrics
  • /actuator/env — active configuration properties
  • Expose only what you need in production; secure the endpoints
