Specs-Driven Development in Practice: End-to-End Delivery with Spring Boot and Angular

This article presents a structured workflow called specs-driven development (SDD) for building features end-to-end with Spring Boot and Angular. It contrasts prompt-first 'vibe coding' with a spec-first approach that uses a .spec file as the source of truth, explicit non-goals, and contract-first alignment. The author explains how to onboard a repository, write and review specs, design solutions, implement backend and frontend, and validate end-to-end. The goal is to help teams with mixed experience levels produce consistent, production-ready code using AI tools.
