The Problem

Java enterprise teams need LLM capabilities but existing tools are Python-only, creating a skills gap.

The Solution

A Spring Boot application that brings LLM capabilities to the Java ecosystem using Spring AI, with reactive programming for high-throughput document processing.

Architecture Overview

A Spring Boot application using WebFlux for reactive endpoints, MongoDB for session storage, and Spring AI for model orchestration.

Engineering Decisions

Adopted Spring AI to bridge the gap between Java enterprise ecosystems and modern LLM capabilities.

Key Tradeoffs

Spring AI is still evolving, requiring occasional custom implementations for advanced agentic workflows compared to Python's LangChain.

Core Challenges

Handling streaming responses reactively via WebFlux without blocking the event loop.

Results & Impact

Delivered an enterprise-ready Java application that allows teams to seamlessly integrate local LLMs.

Future Roadmap

Add comprehensive RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) and multi-tenant capabilities.
