+# Migration Notes: Java 8 → Java 11
+
+## Java Version Change
+
+- **Source**: Java 8 (1.8)
+- **Target**: Java 11
+
+Java 11 is a Long-Term Support (LTS) release that introduces improvements such as local-variable type inference (`var`), new String methods, HTTP Client API, and enhanced garbage collection. All existing Java 8 features (Streams, Lambdas, NIO, Optional, LocalDateTime) remain fully compatible.
+
+## Spring Boot Version Upgrade
+
+- **From**: Spring Boot 2.0.2.RELEASE
+- **To**: Spring Boot 2.7.18
+
+Spring Boot 2.7.x is the final 2.x LTS line and provides full Java 11 support, along with security patches, dependency updates, and improved auto-configuration.
+
+## Build Tool Changes
+
+### Maven (`pom.xml`)
+
+- `<java.version>` changed from `1.8` to `11`
+- Added `<maven.compiler.release>11</maven.compiler.release>`
+- Added `<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>`
+- Changed `<packaging>` from `pom` to `jar`
+- Spring Boot parent version updated to `2.7.18`
+
+### Gradle (`build.gradle`)
+
+- `sourceCompatibility` changed from `1.8` to `JavaVersion.VERSION_11`
+- `targetCompatibility` changed from `1.8` to `JavaVersion.VERSION_11`
+- Spring Boot Gradle plugin updated to `2.7.18`
+- Replaced deprecated `compile` configuration with `implementation`
+- Replaced deprecated `testCompile` configuration with `testImplementation`
+- Added `spring-boot-starter-jdbc` and `h2` dependencies to match Maven
+
+## Plugin Upgrades
+
+| Plugin | Version | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|---------|
+| `maven-compiler-plugin` | 3.11.0 | Compiles with `--release 11` flag |
+| `maven-surefire-plugin` | 3.2.5 | Runs unit tests |
+| `maven-failsafe-plugin` | 3.2.5 | Runs integration tests |
+| `maven-enforcer-plugin` | 3.5.0 | Enforces minimum Java 11 at build time |
+
+## New Test Coverage
+
+- **`ApplicationTests.java`**: Spring Boot integration test verifying the application context loads successfully.
+- **`TopicControllerTest.java`**: MockMvc-based tests for all REST endpoints (`GET /topic`, `POST /topic`, `PUT /topic/{id}`, `DELETE /topic/{id}`, `GET /`, `GET /datetime`, etc.).
+- **`TopicServiceTest.java`**: Unit tests for service-layer methods covering Stream operations, NIO file methods, String processing, sorting, and filtering.
+
+## CI Workflow Added
+
+A GitHub Actions CI workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) was added:
+- Triggers on push and pull request to `main`
+- Uses `actions/setup-java@v4` with Temurin JDK 11
+- Caches Maven dependencies
+- Runs `mvn -B clean verify` and `mvn -B test`
