How do I handle an assignment like this folder structure wise?
Hi,
Just have a very aching problem rn with an assignment I need to work on. Disclaimer: I am not looking for solutions as to code wise and how I should write the code, I am just looking to figure out how I would organize the folder structure for it? Please look through the images they provide some more information.

If I can sum it up in a single sentence or 2: this is a microservice project using
eureka but theres nothing microservice about it??
only a backend, then a frontend theres really no need for microservice in the backend as to my knowledge but I may be wrongThere is never any need for microservice. Here it's a little ridiculous, but like the backend could be run as multiple instances that could be deployed and undeployed independantly in a kubernetes.
there can be advantages for microservices in some cases, especially when you want to scale some parts without the overhead of scaling others which can be a significant advantage in big applications to a point where it's needed
For the folder structure, you probably want a Maven (or Gradle) module per service as well as possibly modules for common code between services - and then use the normal Maven/Gradle folder structure for these modules
yeah its ridiculous but its supposed to teach us about microservices with spring, which im being honest its really not going to be doing that with something this simple
so like a
shared folder for the common code and then every other service its in its own folder with a appropriate name and bundled with Maven
that makes sense I had gpt generate something similar but I really want to go the monorepo route for this
I dont think seperate repositories will make this easierDo you know what Maven modules are?
I don't know whether you actually need common code but you can do that
no not really first time hearing it
I just searched it up ill give it a read
nothing about the services will be common, they each have their own controllers, repository, dtos, service
Are you using maven?
yeah I will be using maven
thats just convention for the class
gpt came up with this
Do you just have a single microservice?
a frontend isn't really a microservice
from the requriements we have 2 microservices one react frontend (which is not) and then a backend microservice
yeah I know but the assignment states otherwise 😂
wow
the tasks perfectly prepares you for the real world
make a monolith and call it a microservice
I have no more objections
ah the dream to work as a java developer
such a world were microservices are implemented for something that doesnt even need to be a microservice but for the sake of the name
I shall consider this closed thanks for the help @dan1st @Kyo-chan :thumbsupcat:
