Build and Deploy a Spring Boot and React App in 3 Hours
Stop consuming endless tutorials without building anything real. This hands-on workshop takes you from a blank IDE to a deployed full-stack application using Spring Boot, React, and PostgreSQL. We will write clean code, wire up REST APIs, manage state, and deploy the live build to a cloud platform during the session. You will learn how senior developers structure their codebases, handle authentication, and debug integration issues between the frontend and backend. This is a practical, code-first session designed for engineering students and working professionals looking to transition into full-stack roles.
Agenda
The first hour focuses on the backend. We will bootstrap a Spring Boot application, design database entities with Spring Data JPA, and build secure REST endpoints. The second hour transitions to the frontend. We will set up a React application using Vite, build reusable UI components, and integrate Axios to consume our backend APIs. The final hour is all about deployment and optimization. We will containerize the application using Docker, deploy it to a cloud provider, and run a live Q&A session on career roadmaps and interview preparation.
