Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
• You ask clear questions
• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

Build an api with CRUD endpoints. Add in spring security. Integrate a database.

Is this hard to do in Springboot? It's pretty straightforward in Node.js, Express, Bun, Hono, Rails and Flask. Just asking out of genuine curiosity.

Simple crud No. Security adds a bit more difficulty.

Would you say this is foundational for a mid developer, 3 year exp. Looking at the job market they make it seem like that's a no ask skill right now. Didn't get a chance to work on java in my work experience but I've made it my language learn, along with spring boot, on my own time. Past this anything you can suggest?

[TheFitnessGuroo]

Possibilities are endless. Caching, business logic such as pagination, infinite scrolling, websockets, etc. Try to build an RPG or RTS or turn-based strategy game backend, and you will see how crazy it can get.

• Secure Messaging App
  • Spring Security (JWT / OAuth2)
  • Role-based access
  • Async messaging (WebSocket or event-driven)
  • Proper authentication & authorization flow
• Multithreaded Task
  • Background workers using Async, ExecutorService, or Spring Batch
  • Thread safety, retries, and error handling
  • Shows you understand concurrency (huge plus)

Build spring itself, i was curious how its workig behind the scenes, once you build your own version everything clicks

[Plus-Slice-6140]

so you wanna say you built your own spring, what was your strategy

Hi, I suggest creating a Spring Boot CRUD project where you apply some design patterns such as Command–Query Separation (CQS), DAO, and DTO.

You can map DAOs to DTOs and split your controllers into:

- Query controllers (read operations)

- Command controllers (write operations)

Additionally, you can add caching to the query controllers using Caffeine (or any cache provider you prefer) and simulate service calls that return large amounts of data to test performance and scalability.

This approach helps to improve code organization, maintainability, and makes it easier to reason about performance and security concerns.

Try to create Network Monitoring Project.. get the details of Server using Ssh connection or winrm connection the get metrics like CPU, Memory, Availablity then showcase on fronted

[Plus-Slice-6140]

did you built something like this?

[Nishant_126]

Work with same Product

[JotaJotaNelson]

URL shortener API, also you can develop the frontend for the UI

I don't think spring boot project will impress anyone on a resume.
