Spring Boot Observability
summary
Shows an application built with Spring Boot that ships Spring Boot actuator metrics automatically, wires Micrometer to emit custom meters (example: a random-value "beautiful wavefront" counter and the classic abandoned shopping carts type metric), adds Spring Cloud Sleuth traces and sends data to Wavefront. Live demo creates a hello/update REST endpoint plus a Twitter-caller service, metrics and traces appear immediately, dashboards and per-instance metrics work from laptop through prod, and the integrated Wavefront view surfaces traces and service-to-service calls.
