Migrating from SQL to NoSQL with Spring PetClinic and Apache Cassandra

This post discusses implementing data models for Apache Cassandra using a Spring PetClinic app. It recaps the six-part series on Apache Cassandra, focusing on advanced data modeling and migration approaches to bring SQL applications over to NoSQL. The three migration approaches discussed are offline migration, zero-downtime migration with shadow writes, and minimal-downtime migration with dual reads. The post also covers denormalization in NoSQL databases like Cassandra, which focuses on optimizing read performance through redundant copies of data. It provides examples of migrating SQL data models to NoSQL using a PetClinic Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) running a MySQL database locally and offers resources for developers to learn more about Apache Cassandra and migration best practices.
