Java CRUD Rest API with Spring Boot, Hibernate, MySQL, Docker, Docker Compose, and Kubernetes

Welcome to the repository for building and deploying a Java CRUD Rest API using a robust tech stack. This project combines the power of Spring Boot, Hibernate, MySQL, Docker, Docker Compose, and Kubernetes to create a scalable solution for managing data through RESTful services.

Features

• Spring Boot: Simplifies Java application development.
• Hibernate: Widely adopted ORM framework for seamless database interaction.
• MySQL: Reliable relational database management.
• Docker and Docker Compose: Ensures portability, consistency, and ease of deployment.
• Kubernetes: Powerful container orchestration for advanced deployment, scalability, and maintainability.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to dive into the project:

1. Java Application Setup:

   • Utilize Spring Boot, Spring Web, Spring Data, and Hibernate.

2. MySQL Setup:

   • Install the MySQL Server and MySQL Workbench on your local machine.

3. Dockerization:

   • Write a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to containerize the Java application and the database.

4. Build and Deployment:

   • Use Maven to build the Java app, create a Docker image, and run the container using Docker Compose.

5. Testing:

   • Validate the application with Postman and curl.
