Use JPA abstractions in code (e.g. EntityManager, JPQL, etc) or just use Hibernate APIs directly (Session/StatelessSession, HSQL etc)? The times of having to switch implementations is gone, so what are we gaining through an extra abstraction? @1ovthafew, I would really appreciate…
What do folks think about JPA/Hibernate vs JOOQ for Spring Boot applications? I have a lot of experience with the former, and it works well, but I like the more database-centric approach that JOOQ brings. #Java #SpringBoot #JOOQ #Hibernate
We just published RC1 of DGS framework 10.x, with all the legacy modules and classes removed in favor of the Spring GraphQL integration. See details here: github.com/Netflix/dgs-fr…. Please test with your apps and provide feedback! #Java #GraphQL #springboot
