In this article, we will implement a Spring Boot application called Movie API. We will use Spring Data JPA to communicate with the PostgreSQL database. Movie API will expose the following endpoints:

   GET /api/movies
   GET /api/movies/{imdbId}
  POST /api/movies {"imdbId": "...", "title": "...", "year": ..., "actors": "..."}
 PATCH /api/movies/{imdbId} {"title": "...", "year": ..., "actors": "..."}
DELETE /api/movies/{imdbId}

We’re using the Movie API as a base application in a series of articles. Throughout these articles, we’ll cover topics such as implementing unit or integration tests, introducing caching, deploying to Kubernetes, and more.
