Recently I had to consume a SOAP web service over HTTPS using client certificate authentication. I thought I will write a blog post about it describing my findings. For the example I will build a simple service which exposes team information about the UEFA EURO 2016 football championship. The service will be secured with client certificate authentication and accessible only over HTTPS.

In this post I am looking into Spring Boot 1.4.0.RC1 version trying out the new features and enhancements. Spring Boot 1.4.0.RC1 upgrades to Spring 4.3.1.RELEASE and Hibernate 5.0.9 versions.

In this post I describe how to evolve a database schema using Flyway. I will create a simple service which manages athletes using postgresql as datastore.

In this post I describe how to deploy a simple dockerized Spring Boot service to AWS. The example service provides a RESTful API to manage schools and leverages mongodb for storage.
