# SpringForge

> SpringForge (springforge.xyz) is a free Spring Boot project generator and Spring Initializr alternative. Scaffold production-ready Java 21 / Spring Boot 3.4 backends with curated architecture templates, JPA/Hibernate entity models, REST API scaffolding, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Spring Security JWT, Docker Compose, Flyway/Liquibase migrations, and downloadable Maven or Gradle ZIP projects.

SpringForge helps developers, startups, and engineering teams skip boilerplate and generate validated, runnable Spring Boot backends from a visual wizard and architecture studio.

Keywords: Spring Boot generator, Spring Boot project generator, Spring Initializr alternative, Java backend generator, Java microservices generator, REST API generator, JPA entity generator, Spring Data JPA scaffolding, Docker Compose Spring Boot, free code generator.

## Generator (account required)

- [Generator Studio](http://localhost:5173/generator): Authenticated visual Spring Boot project builder — templates, dependency catalog, entity designer, source preview, ZIP download.

## What SpringForge generates

- Spring Boot 3.4 applications (Java 17, 21, or 25)
- Maven (`pom.xml`) or Gradle (`build.gradle`) build files
- JPA entities, repositories, and relational mappings from a visual data model
- REST controllers and DTO scaffolding for REST API templates
- `application.yml` / `application.properties` with database and service configuration
- Optional Docker Compose for PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis, and related services
- Optional Flyway or Liquibase migration stubs
- Spring Security / JWT starter configuration when selected
- Structural validation before generation (dependency compatibility, entity rules)

## Architecture templates (examples)

REST API, CRUD with PostgreSQL, JWT Security, Microservices, Modular Monolith, Event-Driven (Kafka/RabbitMQ), GraphQL, WebSocket, and additional curated blueprints.

## Integrations & starters

PostgreSQL, MySQL, H2, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, Spring Security, OpenAPI/Springdoc, Actuator, Micrometer, Testcontainers, Prometheus, Grafana, Debezium, WebSocket, GraphQL.

## How it differs from Spring Initializr

SpringForge adds visual entity modeling, architecture templates with pre-wired starters, dependency compatibility validation, multi-step wizard UX, source preview before download, and 18+ production-oriented blueprints beyond basic starter selection.
