Stock Exchange Application
A microservices-based Stock Exchange application developed using Java, Spring Boot, and MySQL, designed to handle real-time stock trading operations, stock listings, and user account management with secure authentication and service discovery.
About this Project
• Java + Spring Boot: Core backend framework for building RESTful microservices with scalability, maintainability, and strong ecosystem support.
• Microservices Architecture: Split into two main services:
Stock Exchange Service → Handles trading operations, stock listings, and user portfolio management.
Stock Price Service → Manages real-time stock pricing and updates.
• RESTful API Design: Developed APIs for trading operations, portfolio management, and stock listings with proper validation, error handling, and logging.
• JWT-Based Authentication: Secured all user interactions using JWT, ensuring safe sessions and role-based access control.
• Service Discovery (Eureka Server): Integrated a Eureka server to enable dynamic discovery of microservices for high availability.
• Inter-Service Communication (Feign Client): Leveraged Feign clients for seamless and type-safe communication between microservices, reducing boilerplate code.
• API Gateway: Configured a centralized API Gateway to route requests to the appropriate microservices, enabling security, monitoring, and request aggregation.
• Database (MySQL): Persisted user accounts, trade histories, and stock data in a relational database for reliable storage and transactional integrity.
