Main

Treat Arconia as a “curated layer” over Spring Boot:

• Start from one goal (DX or observability).
• Adopt modules incrementally to avoid surprise behaviors.
• In AI-heavy services, capture trace + metrics around model calls and evaluations early.

If you already use Micrometer, validate how OpenTelemetry export is wired in your current stack before turning everything on.
