All users can run the Spring Boot Starter with the default settings to view their data in the freemium instance. Certain limitations apply, for example, alerts are not available, but you don't have to sign up.

Getting started is easy. Here are some things to know before you start:

* **Ingestion Method**: Wavefront for Spring Boot sends data to our service via [direct ingestion](direct_ingestion.html) by default. You can [configure your application to send data via the Wavefront proxy](#proxy).

* **Account**: By default, the starter sends you to the Freemium instance, auto-negotiates an account, and saves the API token in the `~/.wavefront_freemium` file in your home directory. If you customize the starter to go to your Operations for Applications instance (see Step 2 below) you need to include an API token for that instance.
