@CreatedDate is a Spring annotation and covered in the reference documentation. It is applicable to all stores covered by Spring Data: JPA, JDBC, R2DBC, MongoDb, Cassandra and so on.

@CreationTimestamp is a Hibernate annotation covered in the reference documentation. It is applicable to Hibernate only.

As far as what they actually do they are pretty much the same with the Spring variant supporting more data types.
