Professional License Validation API
Project Overview (In Development)
Business Overview:
Our platform is a comprehensive solution for verifying professional licenses and organizational credentials across industries such as finance, healthcare, engineering, and more.
The platform aims to provide open access to basic license validation and a subscription-based model for deeper insights, including real-time alerts, license history tracking, and compliance monitoring. Professionals can register their licenses for increased visibility and employability, while organizations benefit from easy-to-use tools that ensure they hire or partner with fully compliant, trustworthy individuals.
The business generates revenue by offering subscription plans for professionals and organizations, with the goal of creating a trusted marketplace for credential verification.
The Platform
This full-stack platform is designed to streamline the management of professional licenses, organizations, and customer subscriptions with a strong emphasis on data security and regulatory compliance. It leverages modern role-based access control (RBAC), authentication mechanisms, and subscription management to provide secure, scalable, and flexible solutions tailored for industries where professional qualifications and organizational compliance are critical, such as healthcare, law, engineering, and corporate security.
Technology Stack
Backend:
Java/Spring Framework: The backend is powered by Spring Framework, a robust and highly scalable Java-based framework, providing essential components for building enterprise-grade applications.
Spring Security with JWT: Utilized for secure authentication and authorization, with JWT (JSON Web Tokens) ensuring stateless security for API access. This setup provides secure login mechanisms and token-based access to resources.
Hibernate ORM: The platform uses Hibernate for seamless integration between the PostgreSQL database and Java entities. This ORM (Object Relational Mapping) allows for easy database management, while reducing the need for complex SQL queries.
PostgreSQL Database: A PostgreSQL relational database stores critical data such as customer information, licenses, and organizational details. The system ensures data integrity, with indexing for faster queries and handling structured, transactional data.
Testing and Quality Assurance
JUnit 5 and Mockito: The project incorporates JUnit 5 for unit testing and Mockito for mocking dependencies, facilitating comprehensive testing of backend services and components.
Testcontainers: Testcontainers is used to create disposable PostgreSQL and other necessary test environments, allowing integration tests to run in isolated, consistent conditions, enhancing reliability and accuracy.
Qodana Quality Code Analysis: Integrated within the CI/CD pipeline, Qodana ensures code quality standards are met before each deployment, helping to maintain high code integrity across the codebase.
Frontend:
Next.js with TypeScript: The frontend is built with Next.js, a React framework offering server-side rendering and static site generation. Using TypeScript ensures robust, type-safe code, enhancing developer productivity and minimizing errors.
Shadcn/UI: A design system built on top of Tailwind CSS, ShadcnUI is used to deliver a sleek, responsive, and accessible user interface, ensuring a modern, user-friendly experience.
DevOps & Infrastructure Overview:
Containerization with Docker: The platform is fully containerized using Docker, providing a consistent development environment and ensuring seamless deployment across development, testing, and production stages. Docker images are built based on application profiles to tailor deployments for specific environments, enhancing efficiency and flexibility.
CI/CD with GitHub Actions: Automated CI/CD pipelines, managed through GitHub Actions, handle testing, building, and deployment workflows. These pipelines incorporate Qodana for code quality analysis, ensuring each code change meets quality standards. Caching strategies are used to accelerate build times, and conditional steps are configured to push Docker images only for stable branches.
Docker Hub Integration: Docker images are stored in Docker Hub, facilitating easy access and deployment to cloud or on-premises environments. This setup supports scalability and high availability by enabling rapid deployment of application updates or new instances across distributed infrastructure.
This infrastructure leverages containerization, automated workflows, and efficient image management to streamline the software lifecycle and support a resilient deployment strategy.
