Soft delete and JPA version property
Introduction In this article, we are going to see how we can implement a soft delete mechanism when the JPA entity features a version property. If you are not using a version property for optimistic locking, then you can implement the soft delete strategy, as explained in this article.

Scaling a Spring application with a YugabyteDB cluster
Introduction In this article, we are going to see that scaling the data access layer of a Spring application can be done very easily with a YugabyteDB cluster. As I explained in this article, YugabyteDB is an open-source distributed SQL database that offers all the benefits of a typical relational database (e.g., SQL, strong consistency, ACID transactions) with the advantages of a globally-distributed auto-sharded database system (e.g., NoSQL document databases).
From Hibernate Types to Hypersistence Utils
Introduction In this article, I explain why the Hibernate Types became Hypersistence Utils, and how you can migrate your old dependency to Hypersistence Utils 3.0.
Spring Data Hibernate Entity Listeners
Introduction In this article, we are going to see how we can configure Spring Data to register several Hibernate Entity Listeners that can intercept entity state modifications. As I explained in this article, JPA also offers an event listening mechanism that you can configure via the @EntityListeners, @PostPersist or @PostUpdate, or PostRemove annotations.
