Project Overview
This project is designed to automate the management of a warehouse’s inventory and order processing. It was built using Next.js for the frontend and Spring Boot for the backend. The application provides a user-friendly interface for warehouse staff to manage inventory, process orders, and track shipments.
Key Features
- User Authentication: Secure login and registration for warehouse staff.
- Inventory Management: Add, update, and delete products in the warehouse.
- Order Processing: Create, update, and track customer orders.
- Shipment Tracking: Monitor the status of shipments and delivery dates.
- Reporting & Analytics: Generate reports on inventory levels, order status, etc.
- User Roles & Permissions: Assign roles to staff members with specific permissions.

Technologies Used
- Frontend: Next.js for server-side rendering and a responsive UI.
- Backend: Spring Boot for building RESTful APIs and business logic.
- Database: PostgreSQL for storing warehouse data.
- Containerization: Docker for containerizing the application.
Challenges & Solutions
During the development of this project, I encountered several challenges that I had to overcome:
- SSR with prefetching: I want to serve the application with server-side rendering (SSR) for better SEO and performance. However, I also need to prefetch data on the client side to improve the user experience. I solved this by using React Query for server-side data fetching, stream query client to the client and hydrate the cache.
Conclusion
This project has been a great learning experience for me, allowing me to explore the full stack development process from frontend to backend. I have gained valuable insights into building scalable and maintainable applications using modern technologies like Next.js and Spring Boot.
