Hi guys,

In this lesson, we will talk about project overview.

In our project, we will implement a simple Linkedin Application with using Neo4j.

You know that in Linkedin Application; there are users and there are connections between these users.

And we can see the connection level between these users.

To implement it;

We will implement user CRUD operations.

Firstly, we will use Spring Boot.

It will provide us a simpler and faster way to set up, configure, and run rest API applications.

With Spring boot, Model View Controller structure will be implemented.

Our MVC structure will work like that

First of all, the entity classes are created under model package.

Later, if model class is permanent, create a repository for it.

Call repository from service.

Finally, call it from controller.

Data will be presented to client as API call so Spring Rest Controller will be used to handle it.

We will use Neo4j as Graph Database.

We will map our database tables to objects with hibernate. so we will provide object relational mapping with hibernate.

For clean code, we will use Lombok library.

You know that we don't want to implement getter, setter, equals and hash code. So we can escape it using Lombok @Data or @Value annotation.

To handle all dependencies of our service, we will use Gradle.

That's all.

Thank you.
