🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Only Docker is required! Everything runs in containers.

• Docker Desktop (Download here)
• OpenAI API Key (Get free key here)

Step 1: Get OpenAI API Key

1. Go to https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
2. Sign up or log in
3. Create a new API key
4. Copy it (you'll need it in the next step)

Step 2: Quick Start (Windows)

Double-click start.bat - that's it!

Or run in PowerShell:

./start.bat

Step 2: Quick Start (Mac/Linux)

chmod +x start.sh
./start.sh

Step 3: Add Your API Key

When prompted, edit .env file and add your OpenAI API key:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-actual-key-here

Then run the start script again.

Step 4: Access the Application

Wait 2-3 minutes for services to start, then open:

• Frontend: http://localhost:3000 ⭐ Start here!
• Backend API: http://localhost:8080
• AI Service: http://localhost:8001
• Processing Service: http://localhost:8002

Manual Start (Alternative)

If you prefer using Docker Compose directly:

# Create .env file first (see .env.example)
docker-compose up --build

Stop the Application

Press Ctrl+C in the terminal, then:

docker-compose down

📊 Database Schema

The PostgreSQL database stores:

• 10,000+ job listings with proper indexing
• User profiles and authentication data
• Resumes and extracted skills
• Job matches and recommendations

🔧 API Endpoints

Main Backend (Spring Boot)

• POST /api/auth/register - User registration
• POST /api/auth/login - User login
• GET /api/jobs - List all jobs
• GET /api/jobs/{id} - Get job details
• POST /api/resume/upload - Upload resume
• GET /api/recommendations - Get personalized job recommendations

AI Service (Python)

• POST /api/parse-resume - Parse and analyze resume
• POST /api/match-jobs - Semantic job matching
• POST /api/extract-skills - Extract skills using GPT-4

Processing Service (Node.js)

• POST /api/process/job - Process job listing
• GET /api/analytics - Get platform analytics

🧪 Testing

# Backend tests
