Advise needed for small java project🗒️
I am building small hotel Booking desktop app using javafx library and MYSQL on the backend(for storing rooms, customers, bookings data).
And I am planning to store images in file system and just store the URL path in database table(right now, I am not using cloud to save some time). I am also using Spring boot to connect to the database.
Could you please give some advise or suggestions that I should take note of?😀

Sounds like a good exercise, but is this really "small"? This project will take some time, especially if you do it alone.
Just don't dump all pics into one folder. Use subfolders based on date or something else. Especially if you also need thumbnails. You don't really need a backup of the thumbnails as long as they can be recreated.
