Lightweight Spring Boot Monitoring Without Prometheus and Grafana
I built StatLite to offer a simple dashboard for monitoring a few Spring Boot services on a single VPS. Instead of running a heavy stack like Prometheus and Grafana, this single Go binary reads your existing Actuator endpoints to track health, errors, and latency. It stores history in SQLite, giving you the operational visibility you need without the complexity of a full observability platform.
You may not need a complete monitoring platform to answer those questions.

For small applications having an observability stack like ELK or Prometheus + Grafana tends to outweigh the application itself ito cost and complexity.
I haven't found something I'm 100% happy with to self host and tend to just go with a hosted solution. I'll give statlite a look!

Looks interesting, world be nice to have a dockerized version for easy testing. Is that something you'd consider adding?
