" summary

Live-coding builds a Spring Boot 2.0 M7 web app from start.spring.io through persistence (H2 + Spring Data JPA), Flyway migrations (V1 init + data), a GitHub client with RestTemplate and a RestTemplate interceptor that exposes the API rate limit header and records it as a Micrometer gauge named get up rate limit remaining, demonstrating the practical impact of 60 calls per hour anonymous rate limits. Actuator adds health/info, custom GitHub health indicator, metrics, LiveReload and devtools fast restarts, Thymeleaf UI, HTTP/2 via Tomcat native, and default security with configurable roles.
