Planetary Scale Postgres for Spring Boot Apps: A Fast Migration Path for Devs

on YouTube ↗14m

" summary

Live-codes a Spring Boot 2.7.4 app (Maven, Java 17) using JPA, the Postgres JDBC driver and Lombok, bootstraps data with a CommandLineRunner, and confirms three records persist locally with Hibernate create-drop. Then the JDBC URL is swapped to Azure Database for PostgreSQL (planetary Postgres) and the same jar is run, demonstrating a migration by changing the connection string and verifying the app writes and reads from Azure in seconds—demo completes under 15 minutes.
