A simple Spring Boot application running an on embedded Tomcat backed by an Apache Derby database.
Other tools leveraged here are Spring JPA and Hibernate for db actions, Spring MVC for REST mapping and Swagger for API documentation.
This application has been setup to use a Derby in-memory database for simplicity, it could be easily configured to use any other database.
min. java 8 (brew cask install java8 / java11 or equivalent)
Maven (brew install maven)
mvn spring-boot:run to run locally. The application starts on port 8086 by default (may be changed in the application.yaml file)
To run a docker container of this app you can execute the maven target mvn install docker:build (Docker deamon must be up),
Doing so will build a docker container locally named org.danf/lemon.
Rationalization for choices I made and other in-depth explanations can be found as javadoc comments in the code.
All available endpoints of this application are documented under
