Welcome to Java Microservices with Spring Boot, an industry-focused course designed to help you build scalable, secure, and production-ready backend applications using modern Java technologies.
This course covers Spring Boot fundamentals, REST API development, database integration with JPA, microservices architecture, API security using JWT, and application deployment using Docker. By the end of this course, you will be able to: -Build robust REST APIs using Spring Boot -Design and implement database-driven applications using JPA and Hibernate -Validate and handle API requests effectively using best practices -Design scalable systems using microservices architecture -Implement secure authentication and authorization using JWT -Manage service-to-service communication in distributed systems -Containerize and deploy applications using Docker -Build a complete real-world project Through guided hands-on demos and practical exercises, you will create RESTful services, integrate databases, implement validation and exception handling, secure APIs, and design microservices-based systems. You will also deploy your application using Docker and follow industry-relevant practices used in real-world backend development. This course is ideal for intermediate Java learners, computer science students, and developers who want to transition into backend or full-stack roles. A basic understanding of Java and object-oriented programming is recommended to get the most out of this course.
In this module, learners will explore Spring Boot fundamentals, including application setup, configuration, and building REST APIs using controllers, request mapping, and validation. They will also work with databases using Spring Data JPA, entities, repositories, and basic query operations.
