Description
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/pull/21296 describes a use case for streaming a response from an actuator web endpoint rather than buffering the whole response in memory and then writing it out. While it's already possible with a web-stack-specific endpoint, such as @RestControllerEndpoint, it would be good to have something that's web-stack-agnostic that can be returned from an endpoint operation as Resource, for example, can be used today.

Research direction
Start by reading PR #21296 and the actuator web endpoint support it describes, then compare the existing web-stack-specific @RestControllerEndpoint behavior with endpoint operations that return Resource. Done means providing a web-stack-agnostic way to stream actuator responses without buffering the whole response in memory.
