This is a small demo application showing how to use a Global Aurora database that has multiple clusters using Spring Boot.
A blog post explaining how it works can be found here: Using Amazon Aurora Global Databases With Spring
To launch this demo application you need to:
- Edit the application.yml to specify your username, password and database endpoints.
- Launch the main in GlobalAuroraDatabaseWithSpringApplication.java
Once the app is running you can confirm that a connections to both data source was established by looking at the console logs. You should see something like the following:
com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource : Primary-HikariPool - Starting...

You can also check the monitoring metrics at http://127.0.0.1:8080/monitoring/metrics/hikaricp.connections and confirm that both data source are present.
