Dispatch Controller

Dispatch Controller simulates a drone based medicine logistics management system. Clients can connect to the system and carry out necessary actions through the RESTful API provided by the dispatch-controller-service.

The application's top-level component diagram is shown below.

Following functional areas will be covered during the implementation of this project:

1. RESTful API development using Spring Boot.
2. Spring Boot validations.
3. Spring Boot database connectivity (via JDBC).
4. Running a periodic task using Spring Scheduling.
5. Spring Boot testing.

An H2 in-memory database is utilized in this project to streamline the development process. The proposed structure of the database for the application is shown in the following ER diagram.

Project also contains a Postman collection which can be used to test the API.
