Blog Application – Spring Boot Overview
This project is a backend-focused Blog Application built using Spring Boot, created to apply and solidify core backend concepts through a real-world use case. The application implements secure user authentication, authorization, and verification while following RESTful design principles and relational database modeling.
The goal of this project was to move beyond theory and gain hands-on experience by building a realistic, production-style backend system.
User registration and login
Account verification workflow
Authentication and authorization using Spring Security
RESTful API design
Relational database with foreign key relationships
Language: Java
Framework: Spring Boot
Security: Spring Security
API Style: REST
Database: SQL (Relational Database)
Architecture Overview
Layered architecture (Controller, Service, Repository)
REST APIs for client-server communication
Entity relationships modeled using foreign keys
Secure endpoints with role-based access control
Users table for authentication and identity management
Related domain tables linked via foreign keys
Referential integrity enforced at the database level
The application exposes REST endpoints for:
User registration and authentication
Account verification
Blog-related operations
(All endpoints are secured where required using Spring Security.)
Through this project, I gained practical experience in:
