Built my first REST API with Spring Boot 🚀

I’ve been stuck watching endless tutorials on Spring Boot without actually building anything. Today, I finally broke the cycle and created my very first REST API endpoint: /hello!

OUTPUT

This may look tiny, but it’s my first step toward building real backend apps with Spring Boot.

Next, I’ll try returning JSON and adding parameters.

Any tips for a beginner in Spring Boot? Or small project ideas I should try?
