Full Stack··
Shipping a Feature Across Next.js and Spring Boot
A practical walkthrough of carrying one feature from the interface to an API contract, persistence, and deployment.
Full-stack work becomes easier when the feature has a clear path from UI state to API contract to persistent data.
Start with the user flow
The UI should make the required data and states visible: loading, empty, success, and error.
Define the API contract
The backend contract should describe the resource clearly, including validation errors and response shape.
Ship in slices
Build a thin working path first, then add validation, persistence, caching, and deployment details as the feature becomes real.
