🚀 Spring E-Commerce Project marks a major step in my Spring learning journey — evolving from understanding the Spring Core concepts to building a full-stack web application with React as the frontend and Spring Boot as the backend.

🏗️ What I Built

I developed a full-stack e-commerce web application that demonstrates real-world backend and frontend integration using Spring Boot and React (Vite).

🖥️ Backend – Spring Boot

  • Tech Stack: Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, Hibernate, Maven
  • Features:
    • RESTful APIs for Products, Categories, and Orders
    • Full CRUD operations
    • Layered architecture (Controller → Service → Repository)
    • Proper entity mapping with JPA
    • Environment-specific configuration for flexible development

📂 Repository:
👉 raZer99/Spring-Ecom-Project

A full-stack e-commerce web app built with Spring Boot and React. Demonstrates RESTful APIs, JPA entity management, and dynamic product rendering using React and Context API.
– part of my journey to master Spring Boot through real-world projects.

🌐 Frontend – React + Vite

  • Tech Stack: React, Vite, JavaScript, CSS
  • Features:
    • Integrated React frontend with the Spring backend
    • Product listing and cart functionality
    • Dynamic data fetching via REST APIs
    • Lightweight build system using Vite
    • State management using Context API

📂 Repository:
👉 raZer99/Spring-Ecom-Project-ReactFrontend

React frontend for the Spring E-Commerce Project. Implements product listing, cart, and CRUD integration with the Spring Boot backend — serving as the UI layer for the full-stack learning experience.

🎓 What I Learned

Working through this project taught me both foundational Spring concepts and how to connect them to a modern frontend stack.

Key takeaways:

  • Understanding Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control
  • Configuring and using Spring Data JPA for database operations
  • Building modular, maintainable backend layers
  • Connecting a React frontend to Spring REST APIs
  • Handling CORS, API routes, and asynchronous data in React
  • Full CRUD implementation from backend to frontend

💡 Next Steps

With this base in place, I plan to:

  • Add Spring Security + JWT authentication
  • Implement Docker-based deployment
  • Host the full-stack app on AWS

These additions will transform the current setup into a fully production-ready system.

Thanks for reading! 🌱
If you’re learning Spring Boot or React, this full-stack build is a fantastic way to understand how backend and frontend systems truly connect.
