Kotlin Spring Boot API Design First with Spring Security

About Kotlin Spring Boot API Design First with Spring Security

Unlock the power of Kotlin and Spring Boot to build robust, scalable backend systems with an API-first approach. In this comprehensive course, you will learn how to design, develop, and secure a RESTful API tailored for grocery shopping applications.

Starting with the foundational concepts, you’ll dive deep into API design using YAML files, where you’ll define your endpoints and Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) before writing any backend code. This approach ensures a clear, well-documented API that is consistent, easy to maintain, and ready for integration from the get-go.

What You'll Learn:

API-Design-First: Master the principles of API design first development by defining your endpoints and DTOs in YAML. Learn how this approach can streamline your development process and improve collaboration with frontend teams.

Kotlin with Spring Boot: Harness the full potential of Kotlin, a modern programming language, alongside Spring Boot, a powerful framework, to develop your backend logic. We’ll cover everything from setting up your project to implementing business logic.

Building RESTful APIs: Create a feature-rich RESTful API for a grocery shopping application. You’ll build endpoints for product browsing, shopping cart management, order processing, and more.

User Authentication and Authorization: Implement robust security features using Spring Security and JWT (JSON Web Tokens). Learn how to handle user sign-up, sign-in, and role-based access control to protect your API.

Database Integration: Connect your API to a database and manage data persistence effectively. You’ll work with Kotlin data classes, JPA (Java Persistence API), and Hibernate to interact with your data layer.

Testing and Validation: Ensure your API is reliable and bug-free by writing comprehensive unit and integration tests. Validate inputs and handle errors gracefully to provide a seamless user experience.

Deployment and Best Practices: Deploy your Spring Boot application to production environments, and learn best practices for maintaining and scaling your API.
