Hands-On Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

Summary

In this chapter, we have seen how we can use Spring Data to add a persistence layer to the core microservices. We used the core concepts of Spring Data, repositories and entities, to store data in both MongoDB and MySQL using a programming model that is similar, even though not fully portable. We have also seen how Spring Boot's annotations, @DataMongoTest and @DataJpaTest, can be used to conveniently set up tests targeted for persistence; this is where an embedded database is started automatically before the test runs, but no other infrastructure that the microservice will need in runtime, for example, a web server such as Netty, is started up. This results in persistence tests that are easy to set up and that start with minimum ...
