Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface spring-petclinic/spring-petclinic-microservices, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

- highreadme#1Reposition README opening to emphasize reference architecture and learning value
Why:
CURRENTThis microservices branch was initially derived from AngularJS version to demonstrate how to split sample Spring application into microservices. To achieve that goal, we use Spring Cloud Gateway, Spring Cloud Circuit Breaker, Spring Cloud Config, Micrometer Tracing, Resilience4j, Open Telemetry and the Eureka Service Discovery from the Spring Cloud Netflix technology stack.
COPY-PASTE FIXThis repository provides a comprehensive **reference architecture and learning resource** for building distributed, resilient microservices with Spring Cloud. It evolves the classic Spring PetClinic application into a microservices landscape, demonstrating best practices for service discovery (Eureka), circuit breakers (Resilience4j), distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry, Micrometer Tracing), monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana), and configuration management (Spring Cloud Config).

- lowreadme#3Add a 'How to use this project' section to the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## How to use this reference architecture This project is ideal for developers and architects looking to: * Learn how to decompose a monolithic Spring application into microservices. * Understand practical implementations of Spring Cloud components like Eureka, Resilience4j, and Spring Cloud Config. * Explore patterns for distributed tracing, monitoring, and resilience in a microservices environment. * Use a working example as a starting point for their own Spring Cloud microservices projects.
