Jakarta Tech Talk - Eclipse JNoSQL 1.1.6: Embracing Jakarta NoSQL 1.0 and Graph

Eclipse JNoSQL 1.1.6 marks a pivotal release in the evolution of NoSQL support for enterprise Java. With official support for Jakarta NoSQL 1.0—the first NoSQL specification under the Jakarta EE umbrella—developers now have a standardized and portable way to interact with NoSQL databases across document, key-value, column, and graph models.
This version introduces a unified Graph API that works seamlessly with both Apache TinkerPop and OpenCypher, allowing developers to model and persist relationships using a clean, expressive syntax. In addition, the release brings notable performance enhancements and improved support for CDI Lite, particularly in cloud-native environments such as those powered by Quarkus. This presentation will explore the significance of this release, walk through real-world code examples, and discuss how Eclipse JNoSQL continues to evolve as a foundation for modern data persistence in Jakarta applications.
