docker-java-api

This project is based off of the Building a RESTful Web Service by Spring.

The goal of this project is to be a simple REST API powered by Java and Spring. It's to be dockerized and ready to use in docker examples and workflows.

This is NOT to be used as best practice for Spring applications, and is only used for example/learning purposes.
