This application uses Spring Data Cassandra and DataStax Astra DB to build a REST API for a backend service that interacts with products and orders.
- Run a REST API that connects to DataStax Astra DB
We're using Spring Data Cassandra and Datastax Astra DB to build a REST API that stores Products and Orders.
To build and play with this app, follow the build instructions that are located here: https://github.com/DataStax-Examples/spring-data-starter
Follow the instructions below to get started.
Let's do some initial setup by creating a serverless(!) database.
-
Create a DataStax Astra account if you don't already have one:
-
On the home page. Locate the button
Create Databaseboth vector and non-vector support the Cassandra CQL
-
Populate the fields and click create database
-
After your database is provisioned, we need to generate an Application Token for our App. Go to the
Settingstab in the database home screen.
-
Generate a token by clicking
Generate Tokenand give it a name.
-
After you have your Application Token, head to the database connect screen and select the driver connection that we need. Go ahead and download the
Secure Bundlefor the driver.

Click
Use this templateat the top of the GitHub Repository:
-
Enter a repository name and click 'Create repository from template':
-
Clone the repository:
Make sure you've completed the prerequisites before starting this step
-
Click the 'Open in Gitpod' link:
-
Once your Gitpod workspace has loaded, you'll be asked to paste your service account credentials in the Gitpod terminal at the bottom of the screen:
-
When the app is finished building, click the 'Open Browser' button on the bottom right of the screen:
-
You've successfully build a Spring Data Cassandra application!
