 If you have n-1 or n-m references, you are, by definition, dealing with two separate aggregates.
 References between those should be encoded as simple `id` values, which should map properly with Spring Data JDBC.

 The constructor of `JdbcCustomConversions` accepts a list of `org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter`.
 
+Converters should be annotated with `@ReadingConverter` or `@WritingConverter` in order to control their applicability to only reading from or to writing to the database.
+
+`TIMESTAMPTZ` in the example is a database specific data type that needs conversion into something more suitable for a domain model.
