Sakura Boot: Reduce boilerplate, save time, build back ends faster

2 points

2 years ago

Today, I want to introduce an open-source framework I've been working on: Sakura Boot.

    The Goal

Sakura Boot is designed to:

- Reduce Boilerplate Code

  Spring Boot simplifies backend development, but creating even a basic CRUD API still involves repetitive coding. Sakura Boot minimizes this by adopting a "convention over code" approach. Modules handle common tasks like CRUD operations, filtering, and DTO mappings, letting developers focus on their unique application logic.

 - Ensure Best Practices

  Sakura Boot follows modern development standards, with its internal implementation adhering to best practices. Comprehensive Javadoc examples help developers write clean, maintainable code.

 - Offer Modularity and Customization

  While the framework works great out-of-the-box for simple applications, it also allows customization. Developers can tailor features or extend functionality as needed, making it versatile for projects of all sizes.

    QuickStart

  A quick start is available at https://sakuraboot.sansenshimizu.org/documentation/sakura-boot/latest/quickstart.html

    Current Status

  Sakura Boot is at v0.1.1 and still undergoing development.

Key tasks include addressing potential bugs, refining the codebase, and completing necessary refactoring before reaching a stable 1.0.0 release.

The project welcomes feedback and contributions to enhance its features and usability further.
