This commit introduces a major refactoring of the build system and the core infrastructure modules. The primary goal is to establish a strict "Single Source of Truth" for all dependencies using Gradle Version Catalogs and to create a clean, maintainable, and scalable foundation for all current and future services.
### 1. Centralized Dependency Management (`libs.versions.toml`)
- **Established Single Source of Truth:** All dependency versions are now exclusively managed in `gradle/libs.versions.toml`. Hardcoded versions have been removed from all build scripts.
- **Introduced Gradle Bundles:** To simplify module dependencies, several bundles have been created (e.g., `testing-jvm`, `redis-cache`, `spring-cloud-gateway`, `monitoring-client`). This drastically reduces boilerplate in the `build.gradle.kts` files and improves readability.
- **Cleaned up Aliases:** All library and plugin aliases have been standardized for consistency.
### 2. Infrastructure Module Refactoring
All infrastructure modules (`core`, `platform`, `auth`, `cache`, `event-store`, `messaging`, `monitoring`, `gateway`) have been refactored to align with the new dependency management strategy.
- **Simplified Build Scripts:** The `build.gradle.kts` for each module now uses the new bundles and aliases, making them significantly cleaner and easier to understand.
- **Consistent Structure:** The architecture of each module now clearly follows the Port-Adapter pattern where applicable (e.g., `cache-api`/`redis-cache`).
- **Standardized `platform-bom`:** The project's own Bill of Materials (`platform-bom`) now also includes the Spring Cloud BOM, ensuring version consistency for all Spring-related dependencies.
### 3. Added Infrastructure Documentation
To improve onboarding and architectural understanding, a dedicated `README-*.md` file has been created for each refactored infrastructure module:
- `README-CORE.md`
- `README-PLATFORM.md`
- `README-INFRA-AUTH.md`
- `README-INFRA-CACHE.md`
- `README-INFRA-EVENT-STORE.md`
- `README-INFRA-MESSAGING.md`
- `README-INFRA-MONITORING.md`
- `README-INFRA-GATEWAY.md`
These documents explain the purpose, architecture, and usage of each component within the system. This lays the groundwork for our "Tracer Bullet" development approach.
