As a Java Developer Advocate at JetBrains, I frequently demonstrate IntelliJ IDEA features through videos and articles. To do this, I usually create small demo applications focused on specific features. While this works well initially, the number of such applications grows quickly. Soon, it becomes difficult to remember which app was built for what purpose, turning it into a maintenance headache.

A JetBrains Java Developer Advocate announces FeatureTracker, an open-source demo application built to showcase IntelliJ IDEA features more effectively than small single-purpose apps. The platform tracks feature implementation status across products and collects user feedback. It follows a microservices architecture using Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud Gateway, Keycloak, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Redis, AWS S3, and an Angular frontend. Version v0.0.1 is now available on GitHub with initial service scaffolding, and contributions are welcome.
