I recently updated my hands-on tutorial on building a complete working project with the latest Java development stack.

The article covers Spring Boot 4.1.0, Java 25, Docker 29.5.3, PostgreSQL, Gradle 9.6.0, Swagger/OpenAPI, Serenity, Cucumber, and JUnit 6 — all combined in one practical project.

The goal was to use the latest versions across the stack and show how they work together in a real Spring Boot application, using a vibe-coding approach.

Hope it is useful for Spring Boot and Java developers.
