This project is a demonstration of a simple Spring Boot application using Devbox to create an isolated development environment. The goal is to ensure that all dependencies and configurations are managed within the project, promoting consistency across different development setups.
- Spring Boot Version:
3.3.3 - Java Version:
22
The project includes the following dependencies:
- Spring Boot Starter Web: For serving the web application, including RESTful services.
- Spring Boot Starter Test: For unit testing with Spring Boot.
Ensure that you have Devbox installed and configured. Devbox manages the dependencies and environment configurations.

To maintain an isolated environment, a custom maven.config file is provided in the .mvn directory. This configuration ensures that all Maven dependencies are stored locally within the project rather than in a global repository. This approach helps to keep the development environment fully isolated, avoiding any interference from global dependencies.
