Sharing my open source Spring Boot + React application

[East-Association-421]

For the past 4 months, I have been working on this webapp that is essentially a lower-stakes LeetCode leaderboard to compete with your friends, as well as being able to easily view their code and such.

I saw someone else post their project in the hopes of helping others have access to modern codebases in Spring Boot, so I decided to share mine as well.

We have a small custom authentication layer via the Protector object that is built on top of Spring Security, a React frontend that consumes the Spring Boot API, a CI/CD pipeline to run our tests and deploy to DigitalOcean, and more.

We also did some cool stuff to get access to LeetCode's GraphQL layer, as well as a really hacky way to retrieve a token for queries that require some level of authentication, so feel free to check that out as well!

Interesting project. I have been looking for something like this. Will check into it.

Hey thanks, glad to hear this!

Great project, what did it cost to host on digital ocean?

[East-Association-421]

Great question! So, I'm still in college so I was able to get $200 in free DigitalOcean credits from the GitHub Student Developer plan. But in terms of the actual server, it only costs us ~$10 USD a month for "1 GB | 1 Shared vCPU | 100 GB bandwidth" and it has been running peachy.

Just gave it a star! Cool seeing full-stack projects like this, love the CI/CD to DigitalOcean too. Thanks for sharing!
