Answer 2

CrudRepository has only save but it acts as update as well.

• When you do save on entity with empty id it will do a save.
• When you do save on entity with existing id it will do an update that means that after you used findById for example and changed something in your object, you can call save on this object and it will actually do an update because after findById you get an object with populated id that exist in your DB.
• save in CrudRepository can accept a single entity or Iterable of your entity type.
