Preface

The last decade has constantly changed how we think and write applications including the persistence layer, which must face new challenges such as working in microservice architectures and cloud environments. Flexibility, versatility, dialect agnostic, rock-solid SQL support, small learning curve, and high performance are just a few of the attributes that makes jOOQ the most appealing persistence technology for modern applications.

Being part of the modern technology stack, jOOQ is the new persistence trend that respects all standards of a mature, robust, and well-documented technology. This book covers jOOQ in detail, so it prepares you to become a jOOQ power-user and an upgraded version of yourself ready to handle the future of the persistence layer. Don't think of jOOQ as just another piece of technology; think of it as part of your mindset, your straightforward road to exploiting SQL instead of abstracting it, and your approach to doing things right in your organization.
