Introduction

DevVault is a comprehensive project management application built using Spring Boot and microservices architecture. It provides a seamless experience for project leaders and team members to **collaborate effectively **. With DevVault, you can register users, create projects, manage project members, create tasks, and assign tasks to team members.

Functionalities

🚀 DevVault offers the following key functionalities:

1. User Registration and Authentication: Users can register and log in using JWT tokens for secure access. ✅

2. Project Creation: Users can create new projects, becoming the project leader in the process. 🏗️

3. Adding Members to Projects: Project leaders can add members to their projects and specify their roles as project admins or team members. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

4. Task Creation: Users can create tasks within projects, enabling structured project management. 📋

5. Task Assignment: Project leaders can assign tasks to specific project members. 📌

6. Task Progress Tracking: Users can mark tasks as completed, keeping everyone informed about project progress. ✔️

7. Project and Task Comments: Users can comment on projects and tasks, fostering collaboration and * communication* among team members. 💬

Technologies Used

💻 DevVault leverages several cutting-edge technologies and microservices:

Technology	Description
Spring Boot	The foundation for building microservices.
JWT Authentication	Secure user registration and login.
Feign Client	Service communication between microservices.
Eureka Service Registry	For service discovery.
Netflix Zuul API Gateway	Routes requests and applies filters.
Config Server	Manages configuration properties.
Shared Library	Reusable classes for multiple services.

Project Structure

🏢 DevVault is organized into microservices, promoting modularity and maintainability:

└── shared-lib/ (This service contains DTOs, Exceptions, Enums, Requests, Response Classes that are used across multiple microservices.)

Security Implementation

🔐 Security is a top priority in DevVault. Here's how it works:

1. When a user makes a request, it goes through the API Gateway filter. 🚧

2. The API Gateway filter redirects the request to the Authentication Service. 🔄

3. Upon successful login, a JWT token is applied to the API Gateway filter, granting access. 🌟

Lessons Learned

🧠 Through the development of DevVault, I've gained valuable insights and expertise, including:

• Proficiency in Spring Boot and microservices architecture. 💪
• Implementation of secure user authentication with JWT. 🔐
• Effective communication between microservices using Feign Client. 📡
• Service discovery with Eureka and routing with Zuul API Gateway. 🌐
