JDBC Auditing

JDBC auditing is a feature in which changes to data stored in a database are automatically tracked and recorded. It helps maintain an audit trail by capturing details such as who made the change and when it occurred, providing a historical record of data modifications by using properties like createdBy, (the user/system that adds the data), createdAt (the date and time when the data is added), updatedBy (the user/system that updates the data), and updatedAt (the date and time when the data is updated).

Spring Data JDBC provides a sophisticated way of adding auditing features to the Spring Boot project. Let’s explore it.
