🏥 Healthcare Microservices Architecture

Author: Prahlad-7
A comprehensive guide for setting up and configuring a distributed healthcare management system

📋 Table of Contents

🎯 Overview

This repository contains a microservices-based healthcare management system built with Spring Boot, featuring:

  • gRPC for inter-service communication
  • Apache Kafka for event-driven architecture
  • PostgreSQL for persistent data storage
  • JWT-based authentication for secure access control
  • Protocol Buffers for efficient data serialization
