Master Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud - Step 11 – Implementing Exception Handling – 404 Resource Not Fo

The video tutorial discusses the importance of returning correct HTTP response statuses when handling resources in a web application. It highlights the issue of returning a 200 OK status even when a resource is not found, and demonstrates how to handle such cases by throwing specific exceptions like 'UserNotFoundException'. The tutorial further explains how to use Spring annotations to return a 404 Not Found status instead of a 500 Internal Server Error, ensuring better feedback for consumers. It concludes by stressing the need for consistent exception handling across services in an enterprise environment.
