Project Overview

Developed a scalable RESTful API designed to manage the core infrastructure of a social media platform. The project focuses on a clean Layered Architecture (Controller, Service, Repository), ensuring a strict separation of concerns and high maintainability. It features a robust system for user management with role-based logic, alongside a complete lifecycle for publications and comments

By leveraging Spring Boot and Hibernate, the system achieves efficient relational mapping and data integrity. All endpoints follow RESTful design principles, ensuring standardized communication. The entire API was rigorously validated using Postman to guarantee reliable HTTP responses and data flow under various scenarios.
