Server rendered
Thymeleaf keeps the page layer direct, readable, and easy to operate without a frontend build pipeline.
A small production-minded Spring site
Calm by default.
Ready to be shipped.
A focused Java 21 and Spring Boot example with server-rendered pages, a clear health signal, and only the essentials needed for a reverse-proxy deployment.

The embedded server listens on loopback so a later Nginx layer owns the public edge and TLS.
Observable enough
A compact JSON health endpoint gives a monitor or proxy a stable, dependency-free signal.
