Spring Data REST - Data Meets Hypermedia + Security
summary
Spring Data REST automatically exposes repositories as HAL hypermedia with Spring Data REST linking records, uses HAL+URI Templates and JSON Schema for metadata, and secures actions with method-level checks like @PreAuthorize. Demo app Spring-A-Gram uploads photos into items and galleries, shows links and embedded resources, handles browser limits (URI templates aren’t clickable) and answers OPTIONS caveats. Microservice deployment uses Eureka + Zuul + Hystrix, external config from GitHub, and a Hystrix fallback that returns a default image when the backend fails.
