An Introduction to Spring Data

Spring always provided sophisticated support for various data access technologies. The lately coined Spring Data project now takes the next step and introduces support for non-relational data stores like MongoDB, CouchDB, Cassandra, Redis and Riak just to name a few.

Beyond that it helps implementing data access layers in a consistent and easy-to grasp fashion, for both the NoSQL stores as well as more traditional APIs like JPA. The talk introduces the umbrella project, foundational concepts and abstractions and dives down into specialties of particular modules hands-on.
