Spring Boot REST API
A production-grade RESTful web service built with Spring Boot and Java. Exposes CRUD endpoints backed by MySQL with full validation, error handling, and API documentation.
Backend Highlights
Challenge: Build a scalable, maintainable REST API backend that handles real-world CRUD operations with proper validation, authentication, and documentation.
Solution: Designed a layered Spring Boot architecture with Controller → Service → Repository pattern. Integrated JPA/Hibernate for ORM, Bean Validation for input sanitization, and global exception handling for consistent error responses.
Backend Highlights: RESTful endpoint design following HTTP semantics, MySQL schema with relational integrity, Maven build pipeline, and Postman-tested API contracts. Follows industry-standard patterns for scalable microservice architecture.
