I’m extending an existing Spring Boot web application and need a solid Java backend developer to craft a brand-new REST feature. The focus is the API layer: creating endpoints that let clients both fetch and submit data. All logic must respect clean Core-Java OOP principles, integrate smoothly with a MySQL database, and expose predictable JSON responses over HTTP. Here’s what the work involves: • Design and implement the new endpoints in Spring Boot, wiring them through controller, service, and repository layers. • Map the required tables or queries in MyBatis/JPA (whichever you prefer) so data retrieval and insertion remain performant and secure. • Write unit and integration tests, mocking dependencies where appropriate, and run end-to-end tests with Postman or cURL. • Keep the codebase tidy, well-documented, and easy to maintain; I review pull requests carefully. • Troubleshoot edge cases and handle errors gracefully with meaningful HTTP status codes. Deliverables are a Git commit or pull request containing the working code, test suites, any schema changes, and a brief README describing setup steps. Timely communication is important to me, so please be comfortable giving quick progress updates or clarifying questions when needed. If you have solid experience with Java, Spring Boot, REST, MySQL, HTML/CSS/JavaScript for minimal UI tweaks, and you enjoy writing clean, test-driven code, this should be a straightforward collaboration.

For this Spring Boot REST feature, I’d keep the new functionality isolated behind clear controller, service, and repository boundaries, with DTO validation and consistent error contracts so it fits cleanly into the existing application instead of becoming a one-off API path. I’d implement the endpoints with Spring Boot and MySQL using JPA or MyBatis based on the current repository pattern, keeping transaction handling, validation, parameterized queries, and JSON responses predictable. My two priorities would be clean implementation and maintainability: centralized exception handling, meaningful HTTP status codes, focused unit/integration tests, and clear schema changes will make PR review faster and reduce regressions when the API grows. I’m comfortable taking backend work through implementation, debugging, Postman/cURL verification, automated tests, documentation, and PR-ready delivery. For minimal UI adjustments, I can also handle the required HTML/CSS/JavaScript without disrupting the backend scope. A relevant example is our Lead Distribution app, where we built a custom API-driven workflow for receiving, validating, managing, and distributing leads, replacing repetitive manual Postman/API operations with a maintainable application flow.

You need a new Spring Boot feature that fits the existing architecture cleanly, returns predictable JSON, and remains easy to test and extend after the initial merge. I have 9 years of backend experience with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, MySQL, and layered application design. I’ll first review the current conventions, domain model, authentication, exception handling, and database access pattern. The feature will follow controller, service, and repository boundaries with validated request objects, clear response models, transactions where required, and centralised error handling using meaningful HTTP status codes. I can work with either JPA or MyBatis and will follow whichever pattern already exists rather than introducing unnecessary inconsistency. The pull request will include schema migrations, unit tests, repository and integration tests, Postman or cURL verification, API documentation, and setup notes.

I can implement the new REST feature within your existing controller/service/repository structure, keeping the current persistence approach rather than switching JPA/MyBatis unnecessarily. I would agree the request/response contract first, add validation and transaction boundaries, then cover successful writes, invalid input, missing records and permission failures in tests. My rate is $15/hour; I can estimate the total once I see the endpoint list and schema. Delivery would be a focused PR with migration notes, tests and sample requests. Which Spring Boot version and authentication mechanism does the app use?

Java is already running strong on Spring Boot, so I'd stay inside your existing structure rather than bolt something on sideways: extend the service and repository layers, keep the REST contracts consistent, and add tests for the new endpoints. I can start right now and have a working version ready by Thursday. The 8 to 15 USD range and timeline are based on the description alone. Once I see the actual endpoints and data model, we'll firm both up, could go either direction depending on scope. Want me to send a quick plan?

You need new fetch-and-submit endpoints on your existing app, wired to your database, with tests and a short setup note you can review with confidence. I can start right now. In 24 to 48 hours you get a live working sample of this exact feature, so you can try fetch and submit before we touch the rest of your app. The pull request will hold the working code, tests, any table changes, and a brief README. I keep it tidy because you review carefully, and errors come back with clear status messages. Which data should the first sample fetch and submit?

Hello, Good backend work is invisible; the API just behaves exactly how it should, every time. For this Spring Boot feature, I’d focus on clean architecture, predictable responses, secure database access, and tests that catch the edge cases before they reach production. I’ve worked with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, MySQL, JPA/MyBatis, JSON, and backend integrations. Here’s what I’ll deliver: ✓ REST endpoints for fetch & submit flows. ✓ Controller → Service → Repository structure. ✓ JPA/MyBatis database integration. ✓ Validation & meaningful HTTP responses. ✓ Secure, performant MySQL queries. ✓ Unit & integration test coverage. ✓ Postman/cURL end-to-end testing. ✓ Schema changes where required. ✓ Clean PR with documentation. My recommendation would be to keep the feature isolated within the existing architecture and follow the project's current patterns rather than introducing unnecessary dependencies. I’d also cover validation, empty results, duplicate submissions, database failures, and other edge cases so the API remains predictable. The result should be clean code, reliable endpoints, solid tests, and a PR that’s easy to review and maintain.
