• Deployed on AWS EC2.

Technologies Used

This project was built using the following tools and frameworks:

• Java 17.
• Spring Boot: For building the REST API.
• Maven: For project management and dependencies.
• Lombok: For reducing boilerplate code.
• JPA & Hibernate: For ORM and database management.
• H2 Database: In-memory database.
• JUnit & Mockito: For unit and integration testing.
• RabbitMQ: For asynchronous email messaging.
• Caching: For improving performance with frequently accessed data.
• Docker: For application containerization.
• AWS EC2: For cloud deployment.

Design Principles

The application was built following key backend design and development principles, including:

1. Design and Development Principles: Adherence to clean code practices and use of design patterns.
2. Factory and Decorator Patterns: Used to manage object creation and enhance object functionality, respectively.
3. **Persistence Layer Design: Implemented using JPA and Hibernate for seamless database interaction.
4. **Caching Mechanisms: Improves application performance with Spring caching abstractions.
5. **RESTful API Design: Built with Spring Boot to provide RESTful endpoints for all resources.
