I often saw how people included hibernating into a project, not really thinking about whether they really needed it. And after some time, when the service grew, they began to wonder if this was a mistake.
Let’s try to think ahead of what the general pros and cons of Hibernate are so that we can better determine the next time whether we need to add this dependency in a new microservice. Perhaps it makes sense to get by with simple Spring JDBC, without all that JPA complexity?
