๐ธ Spring Boot: Prepare dependency injection, Spring annotations, configuration, profiles, exception handling, validation, Spring Boot Actuator and database integration. Be ready to explain how you structure a production-ready Spring Boot application.
๐ธ Microservices: Understand service boundaries, synchronous versus asynchronous communication, service discovery, centralized configuration, fault tolerance, API gateways and distributed transaction challenges. Prepare an architecture from a real project you have worked on.
๐ธ REST APIs: Revise HTTP methods, status codes, authentication, authorization, pagination, validation, versioning and error handling. Be prepared to design an API for a real business requirement.
๐ธ SQL/NoSQL: Practice joins, indexes, normalization, query optimization and transaction concepts. For NoSQL, understand when document or key-value databases are more suitable than relational databases.
