One key component of spring boot starter dependencies is spring-boot-starter-data-JPA. This allows us to use JPA and work with production databases by using some popular JDBC connection pooling implementations, such as HikariCP or Tomcat JDBC Connection Pool.

To configure a Tomcat JDBC connection pool instead of the default HikariCP, we'll exclude HikariCP from the spring-boot-starter-data-JPA dependency and add the tomcat-JDBC Maven dependency.
