Usage Of Technologies

On the Backend Side,

Java Spring Boot was used to generate a REST API. MySQL was used as a relational database. In this project, we implemented an N-Layered architecture. In the data access layer, Spring Data JPA was used to access data from the database. Authorization and authentication processes were provided by Spring Security and JWT (JSON Web Tokens). When a user logs in, an access token and refresh token are generated. We used Redis for one purpose in this project: storing the refresh token. We store the refresh token in Redis when a user logs in. If the access token expires, we use the refresh token stored in Redis to refresh the access token. The Redis configuration can be found in the config package. Additionally, AOP (Aspect-Oriented Programming) was used. A logging aspect was created for the logging process and saving purposes. To upload images to the cloud, the Cloudinary API was utilized. Cloudinary configuration can be found in the config package. Docker was used to run Redis and MySQL images. For this purpose, a Docker Compose file was generated.
