Ankur Mhatre 958b401f0f Spring Boot startup time: bean-by-bean diagnosis, and one directory per post
Adds spring-boot-startup-time/, the companion project for BLOG-618: a runnable
Spring Boot 4.1.1 application on JDK 25 that installs BufferingApplicationStartup
and FlightRecorderApplicationStartup behind a system property, and a /diag/startup
endpoint that computes step self time -- the number /actuator/startup does not give
you and the one that names the actual culprits.

Captured under docs/output/: the step tree sorted both ways, the same startup as JFR
events, a +5000-class experiment putting 0.11 ms per scanned class on the classpath
scan tax, the silent truncation a 2048-step buffer performs, and JDK 25 AOT cache
timings (6.93 s to 4.82 s). Post body and metadata live in post/.

Moves the existing Actuator project into actuator-in-production/ so the repository
holds one directory per article; the root README is now an index.

# spring-boot-demo
Companion code for the Spring Boot articles on **[ankurm.com](https://ankurm.com)**.
One directory per article. Each is a self-contained Maven project with its own `README.md`,
numbered documentation chapters under `docs/`, and captured real output under `docs/output/`
that a single script regenerates. Every figure quoted in an article came out of one of those
files.
| Directory | Article | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|---|
| [`actuator-in-production/`](actuator-in-production) | [Spring Boot Actuator in Production](https://ankurm.com/spring-boot-actuator-production-endpoints-security-health-indicators/) | endpoint exposure defaults, securing Actuator, custom health indicators and how they hang |
| [`spring-boot-startup-time/`](spring-boot-startup-time) | [Why Your Spring Boot App Takes 8 Seconds to Start](spring-boot-startup-time/post/post.md) | `BufferingApplicationStartup`, JFR startup events, self time vs total time, the classpath-scan tax, the JDK 25 AOT cache |
Articles whose text is kept here rather than only on the blog have it under
`<directory>/post/``post.md` for the body and `meta.md` for the title, excerpt and
categories.
## Running any of them
Each project needs a JDK 25 and Maven 3.9:
```bash
cd <directory>
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk-25
mvn -DskipTests package
./scripts/run-all.sh # regenerate every transcript under docs/output/
```
