This is a mini-project to build a user authentication and authorization system using Spring Boot and PostgreSQL. The project is designed to demonstrate how to build a monolithic backend using Spring Boot and its modules in order to create a web API using a monolithic approach.

This mini-project aims to build a user authentication and authorization system that integrates with existing applications. Users can sign up, log in, and access protected resources based on their roles and permissions. The PostgreSQL database will consist of three models: User, Role, and Permission. The application will be developed using Spring Boot and will be running on the Tomcat server.
- Java
- Spring Bot
- PostgreSQL
- Maven
Once the application is running, you can use a tool like Postman to interact with the API. You can sign up for a new account, log in to an existing account, and access protected resources based on your user roles and permissions.
- The User entity is connected to the UserRole entity with a one-to-many relationship
- The Role entity is connected to the UserRole entity with a one-to-many relationship
- The Role entity is connected to the RolePermission entity with a one-to-many relationship
- The Permission entity is connected to the RolePermission entity with a many-to-one relationship,
As a solo developer, Agile is a great development methodology to use because it emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and delivering working software in short iterations. For this mini-project, I'll be using Agile as my development methodology, which means that I'll be breaking down the work into small, manageable chunks and iterating on the software over time.
For this mini-project, I'll be using Spring Boot as my framework for building the API and PostgreSQL as my database. Spring Boot is a popular framework for building enterprise-level Java applications, and it provides a powerful set of tools and modules for building REST APIs. PostgreSQL is a powerful and reliable open-source relational database that's well-suited for enterprise applications.
Github Projects is a great tool for solo developers because it allows me to create and manage a Kanban board that tracks the progress of the project. This will help me stay organized, prioritize tasks, and collaborate effectively with myself.
Overall, my approach to this mini-project will be to use Agile as my development methodology, Spring Boot and PostgreSQL as my technology stack, and Github Projects as my project management tool. By breaking down the work into small, manageable chunks and iterating on the software over time, I can ensure that I'm building a high-quality, well-documented API that meets the needs of my users
- As a user, I want to be able to create a new account, so that I can access protected resources
- As a user, I want to be able to log in to my account, so that I can access my personal Information and protected resources.
- As a user, I want to be able to update my account information, so that my profile is accurate and up-to-date.
