In this series of liveProjects, you’ll take on the role of backend engineer working for a boutique FinTech company. Your boss wants you to build an app that will give personal financial customers a better idea of how they’re spending their money, with an in-depth summary of every transaction. You’ve decided to use Spring Boot and OpenAPI to build this banking app. In each liveProject in this series, you’ll construct a new essential component of the FinTech app, including security integration, caching, and UI.

These projects are designed for learning purposes and are not complete, production-ready applications or solutions.

Manning author Nathan Crocker shares what he likes about the Manning liveProject platform.

here's what's included

Project 1 Define the Contract
In this liveProject, you’ll use Spring Boot and Gradle to create the basic mobile banking application. You’ll begin by creating the domain object, REST Controller, and supporting service to present the data, then test your application to ensure it’s working properly. You’ll add JPA to store your users’ transactions, then finish up with end-to-end testing of your whole app.
Project 2 Adapt to the Standard
In this liveProject, you’ll build an API that can integrate your customer’s transaction data from a third party. You’ll construct a robust client with OpenAPI and WebClient, and make HTTP requests with Spring Boot. You’ll then develop a pipeline of enrichment for the merchant data you acquire through your API.
Project 3 Secure Endpoints
In this liveProject, you’ll secure a financial application using the out-of-the-box security features of Spring. You’ll set up authentication servers, add users, and configure rules for your application.
Project 4 Exchange Data Securely
In this liveProject, you’ll secure a financial application using the out-of-the-box security features of Spring. You’ll set up authentication servers, add users, and configure rules for your application.
Project 5 Production
In this liveProject, you’ll ready your service for production. You’ll use the Spring caching API to add caching functionalities to a financial application, and compose your application for deployment. You’ll use Redis as your caching server.
