"Wrong" REST API Endpoint for `Spring Boot Starter Rest`

Hey,

I noticed that the default REST endpoint for the Camunda Platform is mapped to
http://localhost:8080/rest when building with Spring Boot via

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.camunda.bpm.springboot</groupId>
            <artifactId>camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter-rest</artifactId>
            <version>3.3.5</version>
</dependency>

and not http://localhost:8080/engine-rest which is the default URL in the modeler and referenced in various other tutorials such as Executing automated steps (2/6) | docs.camunda.org. Why is the default rest endpoint mapped to two different URI’s? Only after googling a little bit I figured out that the default endpoint declared here was the right one REST API | docs.camunda.org.

Yup - I agree, it’s very annoying. We’re working on it :slight_smile:
