Spring Boot Actuator

"Is the service healthy?" is a question your infrastructure asks constantly, automatically. This module is the built-in feature that answers it, without you writing a single health-check line yourself.

Learning objectives

  • Beginner: Add the Actuator starter and hit the built-in /actuator/health endpoint.
  • Intermediate: Expose and secure specific Actuator endpoints for a production deployment.
  • Advanced: Write a custom HealthIndicator that reports on an application-specific dependency (e.g. a downstream API).
