PostgreSQL SERIAL or IDENTITY column and Hibernate IDENTITY generator
Are you struggling with performance issues in your Spring, Jakarta EE, or Java EE application?
Imagine having a tool that could automatically detect performance issues in your JPA and Hibernate data access layer long before pushing a problematic change into production!
With the widespread adoption of AI agents generating code in a heartbeat, having such a tool that can watch your back and prevent performance issues during development, long before they affect production systems, can save your company a lot of money and make you a hero!
Hypersistence Optimizer is that tool, and it works with Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Jakarta EE, Java EE, Quarkus, Micronaut, or Play Framework.
So, rather than allowing performance issues to annoy your customers, you are better off preventing those issues using Hypersistence Optimizer and enjoying spending your time on the things that you love!
Introduction
When using PostgreSQL, it’s tempting to use a SERIAL or BIGSERIAL column type to auto-increment Primary Keys.
PostgreSQL 10 also added support for IDENTITY, which behaves in the same way as the legacy SERIAL or BIGSERIAL type.
This article will show you that SERIAL, BIGSERIAL, and IDENTITY are not a very good idea when using JPA and Hibernate.

Introduction
The Hypersistence Utils open-source project allows you to map JSON, ARRAY, and PostgreSQL ENUM types and provides a simple way of adding immutable Hibernate Types.
After adding support for customizing the Jackson ObjectMapper, the next most-wanted issue was to provide a way to customize the JSON serializing mechanism.
In this article, you are going to see how you can customize the JSON serializer used by the JSON Types.

In this article, we are going to see how to use a UUID entity identifier that is auto-generated by Hibernate either in the JVM or using database-specific UUID functions.
Our Post entity looks as follows:
The Post entity has a UUID identifier and a title. Now, let’s see how we can map the Post entity so that the UUID identifier be auto-generated for us.

Introduction
Like other non-functional requirements, portability is a feature. While portability is very important when working on an open-source framework that will be used in a large number of setups, for end systems, portability might not be needed at all.
This article aims to explain that you don’t have to avoid database or framework-specific features if you want to achieve portability.

Introduction
The Hypersistence Utils open-source project allows you to map JSON, and ARRAY when using JPA and Hibernate.
Since I launched this project, one of the most wanted features was to add support for customizing the underlying Jackson ObjectMapper, and since version 2.1.1, this can be done either declaratively or programmatically.
In this article, you are going to see how to customize the ObjectMapper when using the Hypersistence Utils project.

Introduction
On the Hibernate forum, I noticed the following question which is about using the Hibernate Query Cache for storing DTO projections, not entities.
While caching JPQL queries which select entities is rather typical, caching DTO projections is a lesser-known feature of the Hibernate second-level Query Cache.
