Hey @Sherwin_Pinto,

You can start with spring-boot-starter-parent 2.0.4.RELEASE and then include these following dependencies for starter-data-cassandra and YB-driver. We have these available in a working Spring microservices project at [https://github.com/YugaByte/yugastore-java/blob/master/products-microservice/pom.xml](https://github.com/YugaByte/yugastore-java/blob/master/products-microservice/pom.xml)

Dependencies -

```
<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-cassandra</artifactId>
			<exclusions>
				<exclusion>
					<groupId>com.datastax.cassandra</groupId>
   					<artifactId>cassandra-driver-core</artifactId>
