What you'll learn

Level: Intermediate

Using Spring Data YugabyteDB, developers can access a YugabyteDB cluster through a standard set of APIs provided by Spring Data. The module provides first-class support for YugabyteDB and the YSQL API.  The project includes the cluster-aware Yugabyte Smart Driver that eliminates the need for a load balancer.  In this workshop, you'll discover how a Spring Data application can utilize the resilience, scalability, and geo-distribution offered by YugabyteDB. You will also learn the key features of the module and how to add and configure the module for a Spring Data project. The workshop includes a sample application which  is available as a GitHub project.
