Spring Data JPA Quick Start

Spring Data JPA uses Hibernate under the hood. Add the starter plus one JDBC driver:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>

<!-- pick one (or more, e.g. H2 for dev and PostgreSQL for prod) -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
    <artifactId>h2</artifactId>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.mysql</groupId>
    <artifactId>mysql-connector-j</artifactId>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
    <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

• A DataSource with a HikariCP connection pool, built from spring.datasource.*.
• An EntityManagerFactory (Hibernate) that finds your @Entity classes.
• A transaction manager, so @Transactional works.
• Repository implementations generated at startup for every interface that extends JpaRepository.
