Description
Full-Stack FinTech Masterclass: Spring Boot, React, & Production-Ready CI/CD

Course Description

Welcome to the ultimate course for aspiring and professional Java developers looking to master the modern financial technology (FinTech) stack. This is more than a simple to-do list app; you will build a complete,secure, and fully automated banking applicationfrom frontend to cloud deployment.

You will become a true Full-Stack expert by developing a lightning-fast Single-Page Application (SPA) withReacton the frontend, which communicates with a robust, enterprise-grade backend built withSpring Boot.

Building a Secure, Banking API

The core of this course focuses on building secure financial transaction APIs. You will implement critical banking features includingDeposit, Withdrawal, and Transfer APIs.

Security Deep Dive:MasterSpring Securityto create a robust authentication system, manageroles and permissions, and implementJWT (JSON Web Token)for stateless, secure API access.

Data Integrity:Design a reliable database schema using eitherMySQLorPostgreSQL, ensuring transaction integrity.

Auditability:Learn to implementAuditor Routesand comprehensive logging to track and secure every user action—a non-negotiable requirement for any financial application.

Automation and Cloud Deployment Mastery (DevOps Focus)

The second half of the course focuses on taking your application to production using industry-standard DevOps practices. Say goodbye to manual deployments!

Containerization:Learn to containerize your entire application (React frontend and Spring Boot backend) usingDocker.

CI/CD Pipeline:Implement continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines usingGitHub Actions. This is your automated deployment system.

Zero-Downtime Deployment:Witness anautomated deploymentprocess that pushes updates straight from GitHub to the cloud.

AWS Integration:Integrate withAmazon Web Services (AWS), including the use ofAWS S3for secure file storage and managing static assets.

User Notifications:Complete the professional ecosystem by integrating a dedicatedSMTP email serviceto handle password resets, transaction confirmations, and systemnotifications.

By the end of this masterclass, you will have a production-ready project for your portfolio and the confidence to design, build, secure, and deploy modern, scalable Full-Stack applications. This is the complete skillset modern tech companies are hiring for.
