TaskFlow Backend

Java 21 + Spring Boot 3.3 + MySQL backend for TaskFlow.

Run

# MySQL 8 must be running.
mysql -uroot -padmin -e "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS flowbuddy CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;"
cd backend
mvn spring-boot:run

The server starts at http://localhost:8080. Hibernate creates and updates the tables automatically.

On first start, a super admin is seeded:

• username: super_admin
• password: super1234!
