jactor-persistence

What is this repository for?

The main purpose is to learn about programming microservices using Kotlin, (with REST and spring JPA). I also use GitHub to get a deeper understanding of continuous integration/DevOps using GitHub workflow/actions and gradle. integration testing with cucumber.

This project is a microservice dealing with persistence to a database using jetbrains exposed (formerly as part of the archived project jactor-rises)
