Scalable microservices-based Employee Management System built with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Kafka, Eureka, Config Server, and Docker for enterprise-grade deployment and observability.
This project demonstrates a complete microservices architecture for an Employee Management System with department and employee modules. It showcases:
- Scalability & modularity with independent services
- Asynchronous communication using Kafka
- Centralized configuration management using Spring Cloud Config
- Service discovery with Eureka
- Observability & distributed tracing using Zipkin
- Containerized deployment using Docker & Docker Compose
