Simple Meetup

A sample project to explore

• Gradle

• Domain-driven Design

• Test-driven Development

• Living documentation

based on a Spring Boot application.

Domain

The application should provide a REST-API for managing events and registering for those events. Events must be unique by name on a given day. They can be open and close and have a number of seats available. The number of free seats must be computed by through the current number of registrations. A person can register exactly one time with a given email address.

Build

You’ll need Java 8 and Docker installed to build the project. Just run

./gradlew

or

./gradlew.bat

depending wether you’re on a Unix-like- or Windows-Machine.
