The goal of this project is simply to play around with Spring Boot and create a small REST Api. Instead of using the spring-boot-starter parent project, I'm using the dependency management section to specify the BOM for spring boot dependencies.
- MongoDB. This project doesn't run an embedded mongodb server. You need to have your own and set the environment variables found in application.properties. You can get a free MongoDB at mlab.com for up to 500mb.
To launch this app, simply run the following command
mvn spring-boot:run
