I am tring to connect to MySQL via SpringBoot JPA but running into the following error while starting.

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute 
is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured.

Reason: Failed to determine a suitable driver class


Action:

Consider the following:
	If you want an embedded database (H2, HSQL or Derby), 
	please put it on the classpath.
	If you have database settings to be loaded from a particular profile
	you may need to activate it (no profiles are currently active).

Looks like you are missing the MqSQL JDBC driver in your dependencies.
Add the following to your POM file

<dependency>
            <groupId>mysql</groupId>
            <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
            <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
