Learn Spring Data JPA

Master Spring Data JPA and boost your productivity with a modern persistence framework

Learn Spring Data JPA through Practical Examples

Spring has full support for the JPA standard and, of course, for Hibernate.
Spring Data is built on that foundation to greatly simplify the persistence stack and add new, powerful functionalities. Yes, it goes beyond what JPA can do by itself.

This makes Spring Data JPA a fantastic choice for building a powerful yet clean persistence layer – while minimizing boilerplate code.

The course is built on coding through a real-world project – the best way to learn a complex framework and build a mature and flexible data access layer.

The lessons and exercises are your reference to come back to whenever you need them.

The text-based material is focused on building out the essential persistence layer of an application, with the help of Spring Data JPA.

If you’re new to Spring, have a look at the “Learn Spring” course first.

The canonical reference for learning Spring Data JPA with Spring Boot. The 6 modules cover everything from the basic configuration, creating repositories, customizing queries, and using native SQL. Simply put, the core functionality you need to create your persistence layer.

In addition to the core aspects, we’ll also look at more advanced features like projections, specifications, auditing and events, to make full use of the framework.

Everything I wish I had access to when I built my first persistence project with Spring.
