A beginner’s guide to Spring Data Envers
Introduction In this article, we are going to investigate the Spring Data Envers project and see how to get the best out of it. Hibernate Envers is a Hibernate ORM extension that allows us to track entity changes with almost no changes required on the application part. Just like Envers plugs into Hibernate ORM in order to build an audit log for entity changes, the Spring Data Envers project plugs into Spring Data JPA to provide audit logging capabilities to JPA Repositories.
The best way to implement an audit log using Hibernate Envers
Introduction In this article, we are going to learn what is the best way to implement an audit log to track INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements using Hibernate Envers. As previously explained, CDC (Change Data Capture) is an essential step to extract change events from an OLTP application to make them available to other modules in an enterprise system (e.g. caches, data warehouse). While Debezium is the most efficient way of doing CDC, it might be that you need a simpler solution in your project. Hibernate Envers is a Hibernate ORM extension… Read More
A beginner’s guide to CDC (Change Data Capture)
Introduction In this article, I’m going to explain what CDC (Change Data Capture) is, and why you should use it to extract database row-level changes. In OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) systems, data is accessed and changed concurrently by multiple transactions, and the database changes from one consistent state to another. An OLTP system always shows the latest state of our data, therefore facilitating the development of front-end applications that require near real-time data consistency guarantees. However, an OLTP system is no island, being just a small part of a larger system that… Read More
