I wanted to see how a fairly representative Java Spring Boot application behaves on a very small VPS, especially the difference between configured heap and actual JVM process memory. The test app uses Spring Boot 3.5.x, Spring MVC, JPA/Hibernate, H2, embedded Tomcat, Actuator, scheduled work, and outbound HTTP. I also kept lightweight monitoring on the same machine.
