My Java / Spring Boot backend needs immediate attention. The first priority is to hunt down and resolve several stubborn bugs that are breaking existing functionality, then improve overall performance so response times stay snappy even under load. Once stability is restored, I want to push forward with three concrete additions built on the same stack (Java 17, Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, Hibernate, MySQL / MariaDB, REST and Git): • Clean CRUD endpoints for new domain entities • Seamless third-party API integrations (JSON / REST) • Robust user authentication and authorization I already have the project in a private Git repo and can grant access as soon as we agree on scope. Clear, well-structured code, meaningful commits and open communication are essential. Evening and weekend collaboration is ideal on my side, but I’m flexible as long as milestones are met and we stay in sync through short check-ins. If you thrive on troubleshooting, refactoring for performance and rolling out new RESTful features with solid test coverage, let’s talk. Please share a concise note on similar Spring Boot fixes you’ve delivered, the approach you follow for profiling and optimizing slow queries, and the typical turnaround you offer for bug hotfixes.

**Similar Spring Boot work** I recently worked on a Spring Boot project for Sustech Engineering (Australia). The project was already running, so my job was mainly to fix bugs and improve the existing code. Some of the issues I worked on: * Fixed JPA/Hibernate mapping problems which were breaking a few APIs. * Found places where Hibernate was making too many database calls and reduced them. * Cleaned up repository methods which were fetching much more data than required. * Checked slow queries using `EXPLAIN` and added indexes where needed. * Fixed some save/update issues in the service layer. * Improved logging for REST API calls so it became easier to find the actual problem when something failed. **How I usually work** First I try to reproduce the issue. If I can't reproduce it, I check the logs and add a few more logs if required. Then I enable Hibernate SQL logs and see what queries are actually running. If the problem is in the database, I check the query plan and indexes. I prefer fixing the root cause instead of adding a quick patch because otherwise the same issue comes back later. **Hotfix turnaround** If it is a production issue, I usually start working on it immediately. Small bugs can normally be fixed within a few hours. Bigger issues depend on the codebase, but I always keep the client updated on what I found and what I am doing next.

Hi, It looks like the main challenge right now is getting the backend stable under real load while adding new functionality cleanly. I’ve worked on Spring Boot services where the biggest slowdowns came from unindexed queries and unmanaged Hibernate collections, so the first step would be profiling with VisualVM or YourKit to spot the obvious bottlenecks. For bug hunting I usually start with a failing test that reproduces the issue, then work backwards through the call stack—something similar to a recent Spring Boot service where a misconfigured transaction boundary was causing intermittent deadlocks. The new CRUD endpoints and API integrations can be added as separate controllers once the queries are under control; I’d keep the models thin and rely on Spring Data JPA projections to avoid fetching unnecessary data. For auth, Spring Security with JWT fits well if you want stateless tokens, or a simple session-backed approach if you prefer cookies. The trickiest unknown is how tangled the existing codebase is—if there are legacy JPA mappings or circular dependencies, refactoring could take longer than expected, so I’d scope the first week to diagnostics and a clear report before committing to fixes. Thanks, Denis.

Hi, I have 12+ years of experience with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Spring Data JPA, Hibernate, MySQL/PostgreSQL, authentication, integrations and production troubleshooting. For bug fixes, I first reproduce the issue, review logs and affected flows, identify the root cause, add a regression test and implement the smallest safe fix. For slow queries, I analyse generated SQL and execution plans, review indexes, joins, fetch strategies and transaction boundaries before optimising. I can also implement clean CRUD APIs, third-party REST integrations and secure authentication with proper validation and test coverage. I am available to start immediately, and small hotfixes can typically be completed within one day after reviewing the code and reproducing the issue. Please get in touch to share the current bug list and repository details. Thanks & Regards, Prasanna

Your backend already points to the right stack, so the key challenge here is stabilizing the current behavior before introducing new features without increasing technical debt. My first step would be to reproduce and isolate the existing failures locally, map the affected flows, and identify whether the root causes are related to transaction handling, JPA/Hibernate mappings, concurrency, inefficient queries, serialization issues, or integration bottlenecks. For performance work, I typically profile slow endpoints and database access patterns using query analysis, execution plans, connection pool metrics, and request tracing. In Spring Boot systems, I often see response degradation coming from N+1 queries, missing indexes, excessive entity loading, blocking external calls, or poorly scoped transactions. Once identified, I refactor incrementally with measurable improvements and regression validation. After stability is restored, I can implement the new CRUD modules, REST integrations, and authentication/authorization flows following a clean layered architecture with consistent validation, exception handling, and test coverage. I work comfortably with Java 17, Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, Hibernate, MySQL/MariaDB, Git workflows, and API integrations. For hotfixes, I usually provide initial diagnosis quickly and prioritize restoring functionality first, followed by safe refactoring and optimization. I also maintain organized commits and concise communication throughout the delivery process.

Hi, I am available to start the work by fixing the bugs and improvement in performance of response time to make the springboot application stable. To improve the performance issue, my approach will be split in two steps: Database level - table relation and column index. Springboot level - join query optimization, caching if applicable etc identified through Spring Boot Actuator. Regards Sanjay

Bugs that survive multiple fixes usually point to missing transaction boundaries or lazy-loading surprises in Hibernate, not just logic errors. I'll start by reproducing each issue locally, profiling slow queries with Spring Boot Actuator and Hibernate's SQL logging, then patch with meaningful commits so you can review every change. After stabilizing, I'll add the CRUD endpoints, wire up the third-party API calls using WebClient with proper retry and timeout config, and set up Spring Security with JWT for auth. One thing worth checking early: if your MariaDB queries slow under load, it's often missing indexes on JPA-generated columns rather than the query logic itself. 1) Are the current bugs tied to specific endpoints, or more intermittent failures under load? Happy to talk details in chat. Shayan

Hi, your backend needs two things right away: stabilizing the broken Spring Boot behavior, then adding new REST features without slowing the system down. I’ve worked on Java 17 and Spring Boot services with Spring Data JPA, Hibernate, and MySQL/MariaDB where the first step was isolating bugs, tightening tests, and cleaning up the code path before adding features. I’m comfortable with REST integrations, authentication flows, and working directly in a private Git repo with clear commits. My approach is to fix the highest-impact issues first, profile slow endpoints and queries, then implement the new CRUD, API integration, and security work in small milestones so each change stays easy to review and verify. If that sounds like a fit, I’d be glad to help move this forward. Best regards, Gabriel

Hello. I can debug the Spring Boot stack, fix the performance bottlenecks, and deliver the new endpoints while keeping the code clean and tests passing. I once refactored a Spring Boot microservice that had 400 ms average response time and brought it down to 80 ms by rewriting N+1 queries into a single optimized join and adding Hibernate second-level caching. I’d approach this by profiling with VisualVM and MySQL EXPLAIN, focus on slow API calls first, then add the CRUD endpoints on top of existing JPA repositories. The biggest improvement will come from caching third-party responses and throttling heavy endpoints with a rate limiter. Admins will have a stable back-end that responds quickly even under load. I provide two weeks of bug fixes and performance tweaks after delivery. Let me know if you want to see the profiling results or move forward. Thanks, Lazar.

I’ll start by reproducing the current bugs, tracing logs/exceptions, reviewing problematic service/repository layers, and fixing root causes instead of applying temporary patches. After stability is restored, I’ll profile slow endpoints and optimize areas like Hibernate queries, N+1 issues, indexing, transactions, and API response flow. For the new features, I can deliver: REST CRUD endpoints following your existing architecture Third-party JSON/REST API integrations with proper error handling Secure authentication & authorization (Spring Security, roles/permissions, JWT if required) Unit/integration tests and clean Git commits for every milestone My workflow: Review codebase + identify critical bugs and performance bottlenecks Fix and verify issues with tests Optimize database/API performance Implement new features incrementally with clear commits A few questions: Are the current bugs mainly in REST controllers, business logic, or database/Hibernate layers? Do you already have profiling data or slow API examples? Is authentication already partially implemented or starting from scratch?
