• Spring Boot: Framework for building Java-based applications, providing features like auto-configuration and embedded web server.
• Spring Data JPA: Simplifies database interactions and provides repository support.
• Hibernate: ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework for mapping Java objects to database tables.
• MySQL: Relational database management system for storing dream stories.

• Maven: Dependency management tool for managing project dependencies and building the project.
