Java Spring Boot - Advanced

Course 211 hoursView course

What you'll learn

This advanced-level course empowers learners to design, develop, and monitor enterprise-grade applications using Spring Boot. Covering a wide range of advanced features, the course begins with a deep dive into Spring Boot Actuator for health checks and custom endpoints. It then transitions into NoSQL integration, guiding learners to construct data solutions with MongoDB, Solr, and Elasticsearch.

Learners will then analyze and build scalable microservices architectures, incorporating concepts like service discovery, load balancing, and service segmentation. The course further covers custom metric development and endpoint exposure, enhancing application observability and control. Deployment proficiency is achieved through modules that demonstrate how to manage environments with Spring Boot profiles, YAML configurations, and real-world deployment techniques. Lastly, learners will implement robust file upload mechanisms, including AJAX-powered multi-file handling, solidifying both backend and frontend integration skills. By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Construct scalable and modular Java applications using microservices. Implement NoSQL data access strategies in a Spring Boot environment. Design and monitor custom health checks, metrics, and actuator endpoints. Deploy Spring Boot applications across environments using configuration profiles. Integrate file upload capabilities with advanced client-side interaction. Ideal for backend developers and Java professionals looking to apply, evaluate, and synthesize modern development patterns using the Spring Boot framework.

Skills you'll gain

Spring Boot, Microservices, Application Performance Management, Ajax, Configuration Management, MongoDB, Software Architecture, NoSQL, Load Balancing, Data Integration, Application Deployment, Java, Spring Framework, Javascript and jQuery, Web Applications, YAML, Scalability, Continuous Deployment, Development Environment, and Restful API

Java Spring Boot Case Study - Appointment Management System

Course 34 hoursView course

What you'll learn

This hands-on case study course guides learners through the design and implementation of a real-world Appointment Management System using Java Spring Boot. Through structured modules, learners will construct a complete backend application using modern industry practices, integrating MVC architecture, JPA-based data persistence, RESTful services, and security layers.

The course begins with establishing the application’s core backend, including model design, service layer development, and secure controller setup.
