Using the Spring Data Framework with MariaDB Connector/R2DBC

Learn to integrate MariaDB Connector/R2DBC with Spring Data Framework. This guide covers reactive, non-blocking data access using Spring Data R2DBC for efficient and modern Java applications.

Overview

Java developers can use MariaDB Connector/R2DBC to connect to MariaDB database products using the Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC) API. R2DBC operations are non-blocking, which makes it more scalable than Java's standard JDBC API. MariaDB Connector/R2DBC can be used with the very popular Spring Data framework, which can provide support for repositories, object mapping, and transaction management.

This page discusses how to use MariaDB Connector/R2DBC with the Spring Data framework.

For information on how to use MariaDB Connector/R2DBC with the native R2DBC API, refer to, Using the native API of MariaDB Connector/R2DBC.

Spring Data R2DBC

Spring Data R2DBC allows MariaDB Connector/R2DBC to be used with the popular Spring Data framework, which is part of the larger Spring Framework.

Spring Data R2DBC is currently in incubation, so it is not yet included with the main Spring Data modules.

Spring Data R2DBC supports many features from the Spring Data framework:
