Tasks

Task One: Project Setup

30-60 minsIntermediate

What you'll learn

How Software Engineers build and configure backend systems used to process high-volume financial transactions.
How to set up a Java development environment using Java 17, Spring Boot, Maven, and an IDE that supports enterprise projects.
How to work with engineering requirements and prepare a project scaffold for future integration tasks.

What you'll do

Set up your local development environment by installing Java 17, forking and cloning the project repository, and opening it in your IDE.
Explore the existing project scaffold to understand how the Midas Core service is structured.
Add the required dependencies to your Spring Boot project and update configuration files.
Build and run the project, then verify your setup by running automated tests.

Reviews

4.6

I liked how the simulation provided a real-world backend engineering experience. It helped me understand how different components like Kafka, databases, REST APIs, and Spring Boot services work together in a scalable system. The hands-on tasks made it easier to learn concepts like asynchronous communication, transaction processing, data validation, and API integration.

I liked the hands-on nature of the simulation and the opportunity to work on a realistic backend application. Integrating technologies such as Spring Boot, Kafka, H2, JPA, and REST APIs helped me understand how different components work together in a real-world financial transaction processing system. The tasks were practical and helped improve my debugging and problem-solving skills.

I enjoyed working on a realistic backend banking application. The simulation helped me improve my Java, Spring Boot, REST API, Kafka, and database integration skills while solving practical software engineering tasks. It gave me hands-on experience with debugging, testing, and building production-like features.
