Introduction
During my internship at Mindstix, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a comprehensive learning
environment that exposed me to a wide array of tools, technologies, and software development practices.
The journey began with foundational training we call it as a msx foundational bootcamp where I leraned
a lot about each and every topic that a pro developer need like git and gihub, linux, aws, docker, Jenkins,
https, https, data formats, Api specs and more.
Progressing further, I delved into web development, gaining expertise in Java Backend (specifically grails
and Spring boot). These technologies allowed me to create fast and smooth backend, laying the
groundwork for building full-stack applications. The internship also introduced me to deployments and
OP’S, where I worked with VM’s and various web servers like apache tomcat and all and gained
knowledge of deploying the applications.
The hands-on experience culminated in developing projects like H-Commerce solution required
integrating frontend and backend components. These projects provided an ideal platform to implement
secure authentication mechanisms, such as JWT, and to design scalable database schemas. They also
honed my ability to manage real-world challenges, such as troubleshooting issues and optimizing code for
performance and maintainability.
An essential aspect of my internship was learning modern deployment techniques using Docker.
Containerization allowed me to ensure consistent application environments across development and
production, enhancing the scalability and reliability of the solutions I built.
This experience has not only strengthened my technical skills but also provided valuable insights into the
software development lifecycle. From foundational learning to advanced concepts and project
implementation, my internship at Mindstix has been a transformative journey, equipping me to contribute
effectively to modern software development and tackle industry challenges with confidence.

Literature Review
Learning Foundational Tools and Techniques
Learning Linux, Git, and GitHub laid the groundwork for effective development practices. Git and
GitHub helped us manage code versions, collaborate through pull requests and branching, and track
project history efficiently. SSH was key to understanding secure remote server access. These skills are
essential for modern DevOps practices and collaborative software development workflows.
Understanding Web Communication: HTTP, HTTPS, and APIs
We studied the HTTP/HTTPS protocols to understand how data is transmitted over the web securely
and efficiently. Learning methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, status codes, headers, cookies, and
SSL encryption gave us a strong grasp of secure web communication. Using tools like Postman, we tested
and debugged RESTful APIs, making it easier to build, consume, and verify backend services.
API Development and Testing
We explored how to build and integrate APIs effectively. Using Postman, we tested API endpoints,
managed environments, and worked with authentication mechanisms like tokens and headers. These skills
directly translated into better understanding of backend communication and data exchange across
services.
Containerization and Cloud Deployment
Working with Docker, we learned to containerize applications, making development and deployment
more consistent across environments. Writing Dockerfiles and managing services using Docker
Compose helped us simulate real-world deployments. We also explored AWS to deploy services on the
cloud, gaining exposure to compute instances, storage, and IAM (Identity and Access Management).
CI/CD and Automation with Jenkins
With Jenkins, we automated the software build and deployment process. Creating pipelines and
integrating GitHub repositories allowed us to trigger automatic builds, run tests, and deploy code
seamlessly. This hands-on experience highlighted the importance of CI/CD in maintaining high software
quality and fast delivery.
5
Data Formats and Databases
We worked with key data formats like JSON and XML, which are widely used in API communication
and configuration files. On the database side, we studied both relational and non-relational databases.
This included writing optimized queries, understanding schema design, and exploring data storage options
suited for different application needs.
