​
What is Library Management System?

Library Management System is a full-stack application that automates core library tasks with a modern tech stack. Built with Next.js and Spring Boot, it features secure JWT authentication, efficient book and user management, and a responsive user interface.

​
Architecture overview

The system is designed as a containerized monorepo with separate frontend and backend applications:

Spring Boot backend

RESTful API built with Java 21, Spring Boot 3.5, and Spring Data JPA

Next.js frontend

Modern UI built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS

PostgreSQL database

Persistent data storage with PostgreSQL 15

Redis cache

High-performance caching layer with Redis 7

​
Key features

JWT-based authentication system with token refresh capabilities and secure session management
Complete CRUD operations for books including categorization, author association, and inventory tracking
Comprehensive user administration with role-based access control
Organize your library with flexible author and category systems
Well-documented REST API with OpenAPI/Swagger integration
