So many projects seem to explain themselves by throwing “modern” in there somewhere.

Hahaha... I guess Vaadin's marketing team is at it again.

This is just re-branded Vaadin all over again trying to sell a product nobody wants and it is not even their own.

This is just Spring Boot + Custom typescript cobbled together and called a framework. It is hardly modern by any standards and frankly a bad idea to build web-apps that locks the users this way.

Please take your marketing bs somewhere else.

If you put @AllArgsConstructor from Lombok on that PersonEndpoint class, you should be able to remove the boilerplate `public PersonEndpoint(PersonRepository repository) { this.repository = repository; }` constructor entirely since the Lombok annotation will generate it for you. Seems reasonable to do if the point is to show "modern Java".

I don't consider Spring Boot to be modern Java. At least not if it uses JPA/Hibernate which is solving the 1990s problems of enterprise Java apps.

Spring Boot has other options to solve storage from Mongo to JOOQ to cloud storage. I use JPA. Maybe it's because I'm from the 90's and believe in technologies that work...

What do you use instead of JPA/Hibernate?
