Nova Ride is a ride-booking app built using Spring Boot and designed with a robust microservices architecture. This project showcases the use of several advanced technologies and best practices that have shaped the backend development of the application.

• Managed entities such as OTP, Passenger, Driver, and more.
• Used Flyway migrations for managing database versioning.
• Followed DTOs and structured APIs for efficient data transfer and maintainable code.

• Fetched and cached nearby drivers using Redis geospatial data to ensure real-time performance.
• After receiving the passenger’s location, it returns available drivers from the cache, reducing the database load.
• Source Code: NovaRideLocationService.

• Created new bookings and assigned drivers.
• Utilized Retrofit for asynchronous communication to fetch nearby drivers.
• Integrated WebSockets using the STOMP protocol for real-time updates.
• Implemented Kafka to handle high-volume asynchronous requests for smoother performance.
• Source Code:NovaRideBookingService

• Used JWT for user authentication and bcrypt for password encryption.
• Developed custom filters to validate users and secure communication across services.
• Source Code:NovaRideAuthService

• Handled reviews between passengers and drivers, ensuring that reviews are only created for completed bookings.
• Source Code:NovaRideReviewService

• Implemented Netflix Eureka for seamless service discovery, enabling dynamic communication between microservices.
• Source Code:NovaRideDiscoveryService

• Real-time messaging between services using WebSockets and STOMP protocol.
• Used Kafka to manage asynchronous communication during high-load times for better scalability.
• Source Code:NovaRideSocketService

• Followed SOLID principles to ensure a clean and maintainable codebase.
• Implemented MVC architecture to separate concerns and improve the structure.
• Used Builder and Adapter patterns for efficient service integration and object creation.
