Java Spring Boot Mongodb
MindCraft Backend Web Dev - Spring, and Microservices Lecture 10
Course by: MindCraft

In this detailed lecture, we explore how to integrate MongoDB with a Spring Boot application, demonstrating how to leverage MongoDB’s NoSQL features to build scalable and high-performance applications. This session is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to working with MongoDB in a Spring Boot environment, covering setup, configuration, and advanced usage.

We start with an introduction to MongoDB and its advantages over traditional SQL databases. We then proceed to set up a Spring Boot project with MongoDB, including the necessary dependencies and configuration. You’ll learn how to create and manage MongoDB repositories, interact with the database using Spring Data MongoDB, and implement CRUD operations efficiently.

By the end of this lecture, you will have a robust understanding of how to utilize MongoDB with Spring Boot to create powerful, scalable applications. You’ll be equipped with practical skills to handle data operations and manage MongoDB within your Spring Boot projects effectively.
