A mission-critical, high-performance RESTful API designed for comprehensive restaurant management. Built with cutting-edge Java 25 and Spring Boot 4 technologies, focusing on scalability, security, and developer experience.

• Stateless Authentication: Robust JWT implementation with Refresh Token flow.
• Granular RBAC: Role-Based Access Control (CLIENT, RESTAURANT) managed via Spring Security 7.
• Rate Limiting: Protection against brute-force and abuse using Bucket4j (10 req/min per IP).
• Security Audit: Automated tracking of createdAt, updatedAt, createdBy, and lastModifiedBy.

• Redis Caching: Intelligent caching for high-demand resources like Dishes, Menus, and Restaurants.
• Soft Delete: Logical deletion implementation using @SQLDelete, ensuring data recoverability.
• Validation: Strict Bean Validation and custom validators (e.g., @UniqueEmail) for early failure detection.

• Interactive API Docs: Fully configured Swagger UI with JWT authorization support at /swagger-ui.html.
• Database Versioning: Deterministic schema management powered by Flyway.
• Observability: Production-ready monitoring via Spring Boot Actuator and structured JSON Logging.

• Docker & Docker Compose
• Java 25 (if running locally without Docker)
• Gradle 9

The entire stack (App, DB, Redis) is containerized for professional deployment.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Kaistendev/RestaurantAPIJAVA.git
   cd RestaurantAPIJAVA

2. Spin up the environment:

   docker-compose up --build

3. Access the API:

   • Swagger UI: http://localhost:9191/swagger-ui.html
   • Health Check: http://localhost:9191/actuator/health

We maintain a high level of parity between development and production. Integration tests use Testcontainers to spin up real instances of PostgreSQL and Redis during the build process.
