Demo of Spring Boot at Brighton Java, 10th November 2014. In the demo I showed the following things:
- Creating a quick Spring project backed by MongoDB using Spring Initialzr
- Using Spring Actuator to view a number of information endpoints you can use out of the box
- Writing a custom health indicator for Spring Actuator
- Using the Spring CLI interface for finding out information about the webapp
- Using RestRepositories to quickly get access to our data
- Creating an endpoint to put data into our webapp
The rough structure of this live demo was borrowed from Josh Long who did a better job than me, so thanks Josh. Also, if you want to run this, you'll need to install and run MongoDB.
