In this article, I’m going to explain how to use the MongoDB database with a Spring Boot application using a practical scenario. Additionally, I’m going to develop a REST API covering CRUD operations to show the practical usage of using MongoDB inside a spring boot application.

Technologies going to use,

• Java 1.8
• Spring Boot 2.3.4 RELEASE
• Spring Data MongoDB
• Lombok
• Gradle
• IntelliJ Idea for IDE

Main topics I’m going to discuss here,

• Adding Required Dependencies
• Defining API Endpoints
• Basic Architecture Inside The Project
• Developing the API
  • Configure MongoDB Connection For Spring Boot
    • Configure with Mongo Server
    • Configure Spring Boot Project with MongoDB Atlas
  • Defining Model Classes as Documents
  • Defining Repository Layer
  • Adding Service Layer
  • Controller Layer to Expose REST API Endpoints
• Testing API
• Conclusion
