Today we will develop the famous TodoApplication backend with a storage in Apache Cassandra™ with Spring Boot and Spring Data

Gitpod is an IDE 100% online based on Eclipse Theia. To initialize your environment simply click on the button below (CTRL + Click to open in new tab) You will be asked for you github account.

The screenshot may be slightly different based on your default skin and a few edits in the read me.

You can be asked to import the project, please accept to have java features enabled for you project.

That's it. Gitpod provides all tools we will need today including Maven and exporting port 8080. At initialization of the workspace we schedule a mvn clean install to download dependencies.

Also you may have noticed there is a build happening - even before we get started. The sample project already exists and loading the developer enviroment triggers a build to download all the maven dependencies so you don't have to.

The workshop application has opened with an ephemeral URL. To know the URL where your application endpoint will be exposed you can run the following command in the terminal:

gp url 8080

👁️ Expected output

💻 There is nothing preventing you from running the workshop on your own laptop. If you do so you will need Maven, an IDE like Spring STS, and curl. You will have to adapt the commands and the path based on your environment and install the dependencies yourself.

🚀 Let's get starting

To move to branch PART1, in a terminal use the following command.

• You should read the instructions in gitpod now as moving to the next branch will update this README with the new instructions.

• When you move from one branch to another using checkout you will have the workspace populated with the solution. Your local changes will be lost.

git checkout PART1
