Overview

JournalApp is a scalable web application for creating, organizing, and managing personal journal entries. The repository focuses on production-style backend design through secure auth, asynchronous processing, caching, and cloud-ready configuration rather than just CRUD alone.

What makes this repo stand out is the systems thinking behind it: OAuth2 for auth, Kafka for async workflows, Redis for performance, and deployment concerns treated as part of the product instead of an afterthought.
