MichelliBrito/parking-control-api
A Spring Boot REST API for managing parking spots in a condominium — tracking which apartment, block, and car owns each spot. It's a teaching project, not production software, aimed at developers learning Spring Boot + PostgreSQL basics.
- Clean layered structure (controller → service → repository) that's easy to follow for someone learning Spring Boot conventions
- Uses Spring Data JPA with PostgreSQL, so it demonstrates a realistic persistence setup rather than an in-memory fake
- DTOs are separated from entity models, which is the right habit to build early
- Zero tests beyond the empty context-loads stub — the test directory exists as decoration only
- No security layer at all: no authentication, no authorization, every endpoint is wide open
- Last touched December 2022 and hasn't been updated since — Spring Boot 2.x, no migration path shown to 3.x
- Single entity, single controller, ~250 lines of real code total — there's not enough here to learn anything beyond hello-world CRUD
