Developer Newsletter: Two easy ways to access data from your Spring application

DataStax Astra provides Spring Boot users with a fluent REST API for consuming Cassandra data. The latest Example of the Week demonstrates how to use an Astra database's REST API with Spring Boot's RestTemplate. Upcoming examples will feature GraphQL and schemaless, document-style JSON APIs. Getting started is simple as Astra accounts are free up to 5GB and require no credit card. Additionally, a workshop on building a simple Todo application using Spring Boot and Spring Data Cassandra is available for those interested in using the Repository API. The updated Spring skills page offers click-to-bootstrap hands-on learning scenarios in Katacoda.
