Job Application Microservices Platform

A modern, distributed job application platform built using microservices architecture. This system allows companies to post jobs and manage applications while providing job seekers with a seamless application experience.

🚀 Overview

This platform is built using a microservices architecture, which means it's composed of several independent services that work together to provide a complete job application system. Each service is containerized using Docker for easy deployment and scalability.

🏗 System Architecture

The system consists of the following main components:

1. Config Server - Centralizes configuration management for all services
2. Service Registry - Handles service discovery and registration
3. Company Service - Manages company profiles and job postings
4. Job Service - Handles job-related operations
5. Review Service - Manages company reviews and ratings

🔧 Technical Stack

• Backend: Spring Boot Microservices
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Service Discovery: Eureka Server
• Configuration: Spring Cloud Config
• Containerization: Docker
• API Gateway: Spring Cloud Gateway
• Database Admin: PgAdmin4

🚦 Prerequisites

To run this application, you'll need:

• Docker and Docker Compose
• Java 17 or higher
• Maven
• PostgreSQL (if running locally)

🏃‍♂️ Getting Started

Running with Docker (Recommended)

1. Clone the repository
2. Navigate to the project root directory
3. Run the following command:

docker-compose up

This will start all the necessary services including:

• PostgreSQL database (port 5432)
• PgAdmin4 (port 5050)
• Config Server (port 8080)
• Service Registry (port 8761)
• And all other microservices

Accessing Services

• PgAdmin: http://localhost:5050
  • Default email: [email protected]
  • Default password: admin
• Service Registry Dashboard: http://localhost:8761
• API Gateway: http://localhost:8080

🔐 Security

The application uses Spring Security for authentication and authorization. Make sure to set up proper environment variables for sensitive information like database credentials and API keys.

🛠 Development

Each microservice is a separate Spring Boot application that can be developed and deployed independently. The services communicate with each other through REST APIs and are registered with the Eureka service registry.
