Introduction3:10
Explore spring boot basics for building microservice api and web applications with mvc architecture, including front-end, controller, service, and repository layers, and how data flows as json.

Create Project4:58
Create a spring boot project via start.spring.io with Maven, Java 21, and dependencies like Spring Web, Lombok, and JPA with MySQL; then import into IntelliJ to build a users API.
Connect To Database14:03
Learn how to configure a Spring Boot app to connect to a MySQL database by editing pom.xml dependencies, setting spring data source properties, and running with an embedded Tomcat.
Model9:29
Structure a spring boot app with controller, service, repository, and model. Annotate the model as an entity with an auto generated id and a users table, using lombok for getters.
Repository Layer3:46
Connect your Spring Boot app to the database by implementing a repository interface that extends JpaRepository with the user model and a long primary key, exposing standard CRUD operations.
Service Layer9:28
Explore how the service layer handles business logic between controller and repository, using @Service, autowire repositories, and CRUD methods in Spring Boot with JPA.
Controller Layer8:38
