haevnEU/worksuite-backend ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a clean Java backend for a service called WorkSuite.

I want a solid starter backend that can run locally and in Docker, with a simple API for a work management app. It should be organized well, easy to extend later, and include the basics like health checks, sensible configuration, and a few example endpoints for working with users and work items.

Please make it production friendly enough that I can keep building on it, not just a toy project. Add whatever setup is needed so it builds with Gradle, runs from the command line, and works smoothly in a container. If you need to look up current docs or best practices online, go ahead.
