This is the repo for the blog post Hands on Monitoring a Spring Boot Application with Honeycomb. It's a Spring Boot app, that exposes an endpoint for persisting Bee🐝 objects to a local H2 database with Spring Data Rest. Its instrumented with Honeycomb.

How to run on Mac/Linux

1. Setup a Honeycomb Account
2. Install Java 11 on your computer (I use jenv for managing java versions)
3. Clone the repository: https://github.com/cpaika/honeycomb-demo.git
4. Substitute your Honeycomb API key here
5. Run mvn spring-boot:run

How to run the performance tests

1. Install Artillery
2. Make sure the Spring Boot app is running
3. cd artillery
4. artillery run bee-test.yml

Persisting a Bee:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{ "name" : "Buzzy", "catchphrase":"Well look at that flower!"}' http://localhost:8080/bees
