This project is a template to develop reactive microservices using Quarkus with Java language and GitLab CI/CD.

• Operational system: Linux or macOS (For Windows we can use WSL with some Linux flavour)
• Package Manager: Homebrew
• Automation tool: GNU make
• IDE: IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition
• Code version control: Git
• Container platform: Docker

View all CLI available commands:

make

Install all dependencies to local develop environment:

make install

Run the application in dev mode:

make run

• Java version: Java 17
  • Reason: Version 17 is the latest LTS and will be supported until at least 2029
• Java SDK manager: SDKMan (installed by make install)
  • Reason: This manager support us to download, configure and change different Java SDKs easily using CLI
• Java SDK: Eclipse Adoptium Temurin (installed by make install)
  • Reason: Open-source SDK for personal and enterprise development
• Library to improve Java development: Lombok
  • Reason: To not spend time coding getters, setters, builders and constructors
• Model Mapper ???

• Microservice framework: Quarkus
  • Reason: Faster way to develop a reactive application based in market standards
• Dependency management tool: Maven (Portable embeeded in this project)
  • Reason: Most used dependency management tool in the market
• Reactive toolkit: Vert.x (Quarkus integrated)
  • Reason: Easy to learn, comprehensive end-to-end reactive toolkit already integrated with Quarkus

• RESTful Web service framework: RESTEasy reactive for Quarkus (manage by Maven)
  • Reason: It is an implementation of the Eclipse Foundation specification for RESTful WEB application for Java.

• RDBMS: PostgreSQL as Docker
  • Reason: Powerful database used in the market
• RDBMS Console: PGAdmin as Docker
  • Reason: Default administration tool for PostgreSQL
• Reactive RDBMS client: Quarkus PostgreSQL reactive
  • Reason: To be possible build a reactive connection with PostgreSQL

• Test framework: Junit5 for Quarkus (manage by Maven)
  • Reason: The open-source framework for write tests for Java
• Tool to test REST endpoints: RESTAssured (manage by Maven)
  • Reason: Powerful testing and validation library to test REST APIs in a fluent and simple way

• Java code formatting: Google Java style guaranteed by Spotify format maven plugin
• XML formatting: guaranteed by XML format maven plugin
• Git commit style: Conventional Commits
• Project layers standard: Ports and adapter structure
• Domain modeling standard: Domain Driven Design
• Unit test type: Sociable tests

• Project modularization: Maven submodules
  • module api-specification: responsible for the definition of project APIs
  • module app: responsible for the implementation of project APIs
• API-first strategy: REST API specification defined by Swagger editor following OpenAPI format
  • run $ make api-editor to open the current specification.yml file, from api-specification module, within the editor
  • after changes download the file and replace the current one in the repository
  • run $ make build to generate the Java interfaces to be implemented in app module
• Make REST API available via Swagger-ui only for development environment and never for production
• Liquibase ???

• Standard readme
• Add visual code evolution as DNA
• Add commit rule checker
• Add archunit
• Implement metrics
• add code coverage

• Implement tests with coverage validation
• Have one profile per each type of test
• Add acceptance criteria tests
• Add Load and performance tests
