Boot
Best Practices for Projects
musanabiyev musanabiyev
Spring Boot is a widely used framework that
simplifies the development of applications within
the Java ecosystem. It enables the rapid creation
of complex applications with minimal
configuration. It is popular for building
microservices and RESTful APIs.
Key advantages of Spring Boot:
Embedded servers (Tomcat, Jetty) – No need to

install a separate server.
Auto-Configuration – Most of the configuration
is done automatically.
Production-ready features – Includes
functionalities like monitoring, metrics, and
health checks.

Apply best practices with our Auto API Generator plugin
based on your entity class! In seconds, it automatically
sets up packages, classes, code, and functionalities. Your
structure will be fully automated, eliminating the need for
manual setup!
With our Auto API Generator plugin, you can complete in

minutes what would normally take a month! Speed up
your work, save time, and focus on more important
projects. Auto API Generator is the perfect solution to
boost your development speed!

Project Workflow
1. The user sends a request to the /api/products endpoint.

2. The Controller receives the request and forwards it to the Service
Layer.
3. The Service Layer executes the business logic, retrieves the data
from the Repository, and converts the Entity to a DTO using the
Mapper.
4. The Repository Layer interacts with the database and returns the
result.
5. The Mapper prepares the response by converting the result from
Entity to DTO.
6. If everything is successful, the Controller sends the response to
the user.
7. In case of an error, the Exception Handler manages the error and
returns an appropriate message.
1. Controller (API Layer)
This folder contains the REST API endpoints.
Marked with the @RestController annotation, it
handles HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
It calls the Service Layer and returns the results
to the user in JSON format.
Examples:
/products endpoint returns a list of products.
/products/{id} endpoint displays a specific
product.
2. Service Layer (Business Logic)
This layer handles the business rules and logic.

Processes the data received from the
Controller.
All dependencies are injected using constructor
injection.
Example:
When adding a new product, stock and price
limitations are checked here.
3. Repository Layer (Database Operations)
Establishes a connection with the database.

Provides CRUD operations through
JpaRepository or CrudRepository.
Example:
ProductRepository is used to query product
objects from the database.
4. Model Layer (Entity and DTO Objects)
This layer stores both Entity and DTO classes.

Entity objects correspond to the database
tables.
DTO objects are used for data transfer and
prevent direct sharing of Entities with the API.
Examples:
Product Entity
ProductDTO – an object that returns only the
necessary information.
5. Mapper Layer (Entity-DTO Conversion)
This layer handles the conversion between

Entity and DTO.
Can utilize MapStruct or manual mapper
classes.
Example:
The ProductMapper class converts a Product
object to a ProductDTO.
6. Exception Layer (Error Handling)
This layer contains specific exception classes

and a Global Exception Handler to manage
errors occurring in the project.
Global error management is ensured with the
@ControllerAdvice annotation.
Examples:
ProductNotFoundException – thrown when a
product is not found.
GlobalExceptionHandler – returns a standard
response for all errors occurring in the project.
Here are some best practices to apply when using
the application.yml file:
1. Organized Structure: Group configurations

hierarchically (e.g., datasource, server, security).
2. Profile Management: Create profiles for
different environments (development, test,
production).
3. Environment Variables: Use environment
variables instead of hardcoding sensitive
information directly.
4. Default Values: Define default values for
configurations.
5. Clear Comments: Add comments to clarify
configuration fields.
6. Grouping: Collect related configurations in one
place.
7. Custom Configuration: Include application-
specific parameters and create custom
configuration classes.
Here are some additional components you can
add to your project:
1. Security: Implement user authentication and
authorization with Spring Security.
2. Configuration: Create a separate configuration class
for API keys and database parameters.
3. Validation: Add the @Valid annotation to your DTOs for
validation.
4. Logging: Use SLF4J or Logback for logging.
5. Caching: Cache frequently used data with Spring
Cache or Redis.
6. Testing: Write tests using JUnit and Mockito.
7. Monitoring: Monitor your application's health with
Spring Boot Actuator.
8. Event Handling: Implement a system to manage
events.
9. Asynchronous Processing: Use the @Async annotation
to handle long-running operations asynchronously.
10. Documentation: Document your APIs using Swagger.
This structure ensures that the code is clear and
maintainable over the long term. Each component
has its own responsibilities and interacts
minimally with other layers. With this approach,
you can more easily extend and maintain your
project.
