Production Ready

Spring Boot ships with a module called actuator which enables things like metrics and statistics about your application. For example, we can collect logs, view metrics, perform thread dumps, show environment variables, understand garbage collection, and show what beans are configured in the BeanFactory. You can expose this information via HTTP, JMX, or you can even log in directly to the process via SSH.

With Spring Boot, we can leverage the power of the Spring Framework and reduce boilerplate configuration and code to more quickly build powerful, production-ready microservices. Let’s see how.
