BootUI
A local-only developer console for Spring Boot 4 applications.
Runtime observability
Inspect health, metrics, memory, threads, heap dumps, startup timing, and JVM sizing from the running Spring Boot app.
Configuration intelligence
Browse masked configuration, profile differences, loggers, beans, conditions, and mappings with stable BootUI DTOs.
Diagnostics toolbox
Review traces, log tail, HTTP exchanges, local probes, architecture checks, GraalVM readiness, and dependency vulnerabilities.
Data and services visibility
Explore database pools, Spring Data repositories, Hibernate checks, Flyway, Liquibase, scheduled tasks, caches, and dev services.
Local safety model
Stay loopback-only by default with secret masking, fail-closed activation, read-only controls, and explicit confirmation for mutating actions.
Packaged developer console
Add one Spring Boot starter dependency and get the bundled Vue UI, REST API, and docs-backed workflow without a separate frontend deployment.

How BootUI works
BootUI is served by the host application at /bootui/, uses internal /bootui/api/** endpoints, and packages the Vue UI into the starter so consuming applications do not need Node.js or npm.
It stays local by default: development-profile activation, loopback-only access, secret masking, read-only controls, and production-profile disablement. Some panels depend on optional Spring, Actuator, or development infrastructure. When data is unavailable, BootUI returns stable empty responses or shows an actionable empty state.
What BootUI includes
- Runtime views for health, metrics, memory, threads, heap dumps, startup timing, and JVM tuning.
- Configuration tools for masked properties, profile diffs, runtime overrides, loggers, beans, conditions, and mappings.
- Data and service panels for database pools, Spring Data, Hibernate, Flyway, Liquibase, caches, scheduled tasks, and dev services.
- Diagnostics and security panels for traces, logs, HTTP exchanges, local probes, architecture checks, GraalVM readiness, dependency vulnerabilities, Spring Security, and security advisors.
- Developer tooling dashboards for DevTools, GitHub, Copilot, and Claude Code local activity.
