Leveraging Spring Boot for Multi-Source Data Access in MariaDB
In the realm of modern enterprise applications, data often resides in multiple sources. One of the challenges developers face is efficiently managing and accessing data from various databases. In this blog, we'll explore how to tackle this challenge using Spring Boot, one of the most popular frameworks for building Java-based applications, and MariaDB, a powerful open-source relational database management system. Understanding the Need for Multi-Source Data Access Consider a scenario where you have an e-commerce platform that needs to handle data from multiple sources: Order Database : Stores information about customer orders. Product Database : Contains details about the products in your catalog. User Database : Manages user accounts and authentication. In such cases, it's essential to access data from these different sources and potentially combine it for various operations. Spring Boot offers a convenient way to achieve this with its robust support for multiple data sources.
