Development Envirmonment Setup Instructions
The project is written in Java, and deployed on AWS. These steps are to be followed when you are running the project for the first time.
- Install Java 11 and maven.
- Clone this project
- Build the jar:
mvn package
- Run a development DB server:
docker run --name simplq-db -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_USER=admin -e POSTGRES_DB=simplq -d postgres
- Run the jar:
java -jar simplq/target/simplq-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
We follow Google's Java Style Guidelines. For Intellij, you can install the google-java-format plugin, Eclipse and other IDE users can find more instructions here.
Testing locally
Test APIs through Postman - A test postman collection is available here.
Run Integration Tests:
mvn test
Running in production
Generate the jar:
mvn package
By default, the jar uses an in-memory H2 database. This is for development purposes only, and so for a production setup, set up a postgres DB and pass the DB connection parameters as environment variables:
export DB_USERNAME=<user-name>
export DB_PASSWORD=<password>
export DB_URL=jdbc:postgresql://<host>:<port>/<db>
export TOKEN_URL=<base-token-url>
java -Dspring.profiles.active=prod -jar simplq/target/simplq-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
We use Liquidbase for DB migrations. To run migrations:
mvn liquibase:update -Ddb.username=<username> -Ddb.password=<password> -Ddb.url=jdbc:postgresql://<host>:<port>/<db>
