After completing my Spring Boot + H2 mini project with 53 APIs yesterday, I’m taking the next step forward in my backend development journey — diving into JPA (Java Persistence API)! 🚀

🧠 What I focused on today:
✅ Understood the core purpose of JPA and how it simplifies database operations
✅ Learned about Entity, @id, and how JPA maps Java objects to database tables
✅ Explored annotations like @Entity, @Table, @column, and their use in real-world apps
✅ Practiced creating entity classes and interacting with them using Spring Data JPA
✅ Got familiar with Named Queries, and different ways of querying data
✅ Realized the power of abstraction JPA provides to minimize boilerplate code

🔍 Why JPA matters:
JPA makes database interaction cleaner, faster, and much more maintainable — a must-know for any Java backend developer. It’s exciting to see how these concepts will help me scale and organize projects better!

The learning continues! On to more advanced topics tomorrow! 📚🔥
