Hey Ratnesh,
I also faced the exact same issue, and here is what I observed to solve the issue.
@bean in the sessionBuilderCustomizer is not working properly to create the required classes.
Simple fix:- Correct your folder structure. Follow the exact same as that given by javabrains

Hey Ratnesh, If Satyam's solution does not work you, go to your application.yml file. Ensure the datastax.astra property is not indented.
