asmhatreandClaude Opus 5 a065696478 Add kubernetes-deployment: probes, shutdown, JVM ergonomics, HPA
Companion code for "Deploying Spring Boot 4 on Kubernetes: Probes, Graceful
Shutdown, Limits and JVM Ergonomics". A dependency outage under three
probe-group setups, a rolling restart under load four ways (three runs
each), the JVM's ergonomic choices for nine pod shapes, one GC-heavy load
under five CPU limits with throttling counters, and an HPA driven by a
Micrometer gauge through prometheus-adapter. Measured on k3s v1.36.4.

spring-boot-demo

Companion code for the Spring Boot articles on 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/ Spring Boot Actuator in Production endpoint exposure defaults, securing Actuator, custom health indicators and how they hang
spring-boot-startup-time/ Why Your Spring Boot App Takes 8 Seconds to Start BufferingApplicationStartup, JFR startup events, self time vs total time, the classpath-scan tax, the JDK 25 AOT cache
configuration-properties/ @ConfigurationProperties vs @Value in Spring Boot 4 relaxed binding measured three ways, record constructor binding, validation, IDE metadata generation
profiles-and-config/ Spring Boot Profiles Done Right the precedence stack made visible, config trees and ConfigMaps, why a profile file loses to an environment variable
spring-aop/ Spring AOP Explained every pointcut designator with real matches, JDK vs CGLIB proxies, six aspects that do not fire
docker-images/ Dockerizing Spring Boot 4: Layered Jars, Buildpacks, Distroless and Image Size Benchmarks one service packaged nine ways and measured: size on disk and pushed, rebuild delta, startup, PID 1 and signals, jlink, the JDK 25 AOT cache
kubernetes-deployment/ Deploying Spring Boot 4 on Kubernetes probe groups under a dependency outage, graceful shutdown under load four ways, JVM ergonomics per pod shape, CPU limits throttling GC, HPA on a Micrometer metric

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. docker-images also needs Docker, and kubernetes-deployment Docker plus a Kubernetes cluster; their READMEs list the rest:

cd <directory>
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk-25
mvn -DskipTests package
./scripts/run-all.sh          # regenerate every transcript under docs/output/
