Study Notes
Building a Highly Scalable Spring Boot Application with Cassandra
- The Code with Me series will demonstrate how to build a full Spring Boot application called Better Reads, which can scale and handle millions of data records.
- The focus is to build an app that can store a catalog of every book ever published in the world and allow users to browse, mark a book as read, rate it, and track progress.
- The architecture is designed to be highly available, performant, and handle large amounts of data.
- The app features an OAuth login with GitHub, a search function, and a dashboard that shows all the books the user is currently reading.
- Cassandra is used as the database instead of a relational database because it is more flexible and can deal with large amounts of data.
- Astra DB is used as a hosted Cassandra instance to connect the Spring Boot application to the database.
- Spring Security is used for authentication and authorization, and Thymeleaf is used for rendering the view.
- The Spring Data Cassandra project is used to connect the Spring Boot application to the Cassandra database via the repository pattern.
- Java and an IDE are required to follow along, and a free account on DataStax is needed to use Astra DB.
- The Code with Me series consists of 16 videos, each around 30 minutes to an hour long, released every three days.
- The series encourages viewers to code along and learn how to build a highly scalable and performant application.
- The first video will focus on outlining the app requirements and designing the architecture.
