What’s New in Spring Data MongoDB
summary
Spring Data MongoDB 3.x updates migration to MongoDB Java Driver 4, splits sync/reactive drivers, and sets auto-index creation disabled by default; UUID handling now requires explicit representation (defaults to Java legacy). Adds server-side aggregation-update support for computing and storing derived fields, a much cleaner reactive GridFS API that pipes Flux streams, deferred reactive SpEL and reactive auditing, repository execution metrics, and experimental GraalVM native image support (example compiles in ~3 minutes and starts in ~0.073s). Read-only transactions are not available.
