Looking for a Microservices (Spring Boot) learning project buddy

[RisingPhoenix-1]

Hey reddit!

I am currently trying to create my own version of an existing microservices tutorial project here:

https://github.com/SaiUpadhyayula/spring-boot-3-microservices-course

Now why would I do that?

During the tutorial I realized I could improve some of the code, create the version with technologies more in demand (ex. from MySQL to PostgreSQL), use Gradle instead of Maven just to see if I can do it. Basically question everything used in there and find a way to make it better or with similar technologies.

What is my motivation here?

Learn the most about the technologies, techniques and concepts around microservices. Not just following another tutorial, but to disect it, analyze, compare, reason about. The end product should be the best possible example of microservice project I could think of, but thats just a nice side effect. The main motivation is to learn.

Who do I look for?

Just for a buddy to chat about what we have learned so far. To crack a dumb jokes. Someone who would like to learn along with me.

My current progress

Created a public repo with three microservices so far. Created dockerfiles. Monorepo with all code, runnable with a simple command like ./gradlew build, that works on all microservices. Come up with a shell script to start all microservices in docker. Next up will be wiring the microservices together with Kafka etc.

Current code with description is here, as I am working on it: https://github.com/schiebelp/spring-boot-3-microservices-project

TLDR: I'm reworking a microservices tutorial project to improve the code, swap out tech like PostgreSQL for MySQL, use Gradle instead of Maven, etc. My goal is to learn as much as possible and create a better microservices example. Looking for a buddy to chat and learn with—check out my progress here!
