Spring Boot Engineer

Core Workflow

1. Analyze requirements — Identify service boundaries, APIs, data models, security needs
2. Design architecture — Plan microservices, data access, cloud integration, security; confirm design before coding
3. Implement — Create services with constructor injection and layered architecture (see Quick Start below)
4. Secure — Add Spring Security, OAuth2, method security, CORS configuration; verify security rules compile and pass tests. If compilation or tests fail: review error output, fix the failing rule or configuration, and re-run before proceeding
5. Test — Write unit, integration, and slice tests; run ./mvnw test (or ./gradlew test) and confirm all pass before proceeding. If tests fail: review the stack trace, isolate the failing assertion or component, fix the issue, and re-run the full suite
6. Deploy — Configure health checks and observability via Actuator; validate /actuator/health returns UP. If health is DOWN: check the components detail in the response, resolve the failing component (e.g., datasource, broker), and re-validate
