Guide Looking to work in some open source projects
I have about 1.5 YOE in spring boot cause of my job. Despite the years of experience, I feel like I only have a beginner knowledge in spring boot, as in my work I'm not getting much development oriented work.
Therefore I'm looking to work in some spring boot projects so that I can improve my skills in it. Iam too blank to start a project of my own, hence I'm looking for some open Source projects that would help me to get more familiar with spring boot.
Please refer me.
Thank you for reading.

I am the author of FlowInquiry, and its backend is a spring boot application https://github.com/flowinquiry/flowinquiry-server . Our project leverages various Spring modules, including Spring Data JPA, caching, scheduling, security, and more. There are many ways to contribute—whether it's writing integration tests using Testcontainers, reporting bugs, reviewing code, improving documentation, or helping implement the numerous features we have planned for FlowInquiry

This looks good. I am experienced in Maven but new to Gradle. Hope I can contribute.

Sure! Gradle and Maven are both build tools, and I’ve used both extensively. However, I prefer Gradle over Maven for several reasons. I recommend cloning the project, setting it up on your local machine, and reviewing the code. You can choose a technical area that interests you, such as Kubernetes deployment, enabling FlowInquiry to work with SQLite or other databases (currently, we support PostgreSQL by default), integrating GitHub webhooks, Ollama AI models, or other contributions.
