This guide demonstrates a Spring Boot + Spring Data JPA setup powered by Docker database images seeded with initial data, simplifying local development and staging.

The core dependencies of the example are as follows:

• Spring Boot 2.5.0
• Spring 5.3.7
• Hibernate 5.4.31.Final
• PostgreSQL driver 42.2.20
• MySQL connector 8.0.25 (Alternative Database Option)

We are going to follow the listed steps throughout this example:

1. Introduce PostgreSQL database as the default database for the application
2. Create and run a PostgreSQL Docker image backed by initial data
3. Add entities and repositories to the application
4. Test the initial setup
5. Introduce MySQL database as a secondary database option to the application
6. Create and run a MySQL Docker image backed by initial data
