An application that will allow users to upload their own photos, and share them in a paginated gallery. This application is focused on the backend to acquaint ourselves with the Spring framework. The frontend will be created with the React framework, and should be relatively simple (though, if time permits, feel free to add some nice designs/layouts).

User Stories

• User can upload a photo (no auth)
• User can load a gallery of photos for viewing
• Store the actual photos (.png, .jpg, etc.) in a Cloud-Based/AWS Storage (e.g. Cloudinary, S3 Bucket)
• Store the Urls of each photo on a local database

Bonus Features

• User can create an account and log in (OAuth/JWT)
• User can manage their own photos from their profile page
• Pagination added to the photo gallery
• Hovering over a picture displays the author and the date it was posted
• Clicking on a photo will take you to the source URL of the photo

Technicals

• Maven
• Java 8+
• Spring v2.3.0
• Backend Dependencies
