I'm currently developing a spring boot application and would like to see some kind of real-world examples of how big spring boot projects can be architectured. I've tried searching the web myself, but had no success so far.

I would be especially interested in bigger examples using spring-data-rest.

    Thanks! After following your last link i also found [a reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/5etg0h/open_source_projects_using_spring_boot/) with similar information. – tuesday Feb 21 '19 at 09:47

You can have a look at the Jhipster project.

It is a very nice project which helps to scaffold out SpringBoot applications.

You can get an idea of many of the best practices such as security, exception-handling, logging, task-execution, repositories etc.

In short, you can scaffold out applications based on the features that you need.
