Support for Spring Data JDBC

Spring Data includes repository support for JDBC and will automatically generate SQL for the methods on CrudRepository.

They can be added to your project with a single dependency on spring-boot-starter-data-jdbc. For complete details of Spring Data JDBC, please refer to the reference documentation.

Auto-configuration support for new Micrometer metrics

The following metrics are now available as core metrics when applicable:

• Kafka consumer metrics

• Log4j2 metrics

Miscellaneous

Apart from the changes listed above, there have also been lots of minor tweaks and improvements including:

• @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT) can now generate a separate random port for the management server.
