springboot-best-practices

What problem does it solve?

Spring Boot patterns provide a consistent blueprint for building enterprise-grade Java applications, reducing boilerplate and aligning teams on best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project Structure: promotes layered architecture with clear separation of concerns (controller, service, repository, model, dto, config, exception)
• DI & Testing Guidance: encourages constructor injection, interface-based design, and testable components
• REST API Design & Data Access: standardizes REST controllers, validation, and Spring Data JPA usage
• Security & Configuration: outlines security configuration, externalized config, and robust configuration patterns
• Use Case: apply patterns to a microservice exposing /api/v1/users with services handling business logic

Quick Start

Create a new Spring Boot project following the layered architecture and implement the patterns described above.
