The Spring Data Aerospike library leverages the Spring Framework, which makes it easy to map data from a Java application onto the Aerospike Database and read it back. For more information, see the [Spring Data overview](https://spring.io/projects/spring-data) and the [Spring Framework overview](https://spring.io/projects/spring-framework) on the Spring.io website.

The Spring Data Aerospike implementation supports both synchronous and reactive programming paradigms.
