🏥 Hospital Management System (Spring Boot + MVC)

📖 Overview

The Hospital Management System (HMS) is a Spring Boot–based web application built using the Spring MVC architecture.
It provides interfaces for Admins, Doctors, and Patients to manage hospital operations such as appointments, doctor schedules, and patient records — all within a single, server-rendered application.

This version uses Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Security, and Spring Data JPA, backed by MySQL and MongoDB databases.

⚙️ Tech Stack

🧩 Backend

• Java 21
• Spring Boot 3
• Spring MVC for controllers and server-rendered views
• Vanilla JavaScript for client-side interactivity
• Spring Data JPA + Hibernate for ORM and persistence
• Spring Security with JWT
• Thymeleaf (or JSP) for rendering HTML templates
• Maven for dependency management and build
• Profiles for local and remote (Docker) environments

⚙️ Deployment

Deployed to AWS using ECS, EC2, ALB, RDS, and MongoDB Atlas. The application load balancer directs traffic to both this Spring app and an angular ssr app.

Additional notes: Deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk for learning purposes

🗄️ Database

• MySQL / MongoDB
• JPA entity mappings for Doctor, Patient, and Appointment
• Schema auto-generated on startup via

  spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
  

🔐 Authentication & Authorization

Spring Security handles login, logout, and route protection.

👥 Role-based Permissions

Supports JWT tokens or session-based login, depending on configuration.
