Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I've been at Silicon Valley Code Camp, JAX London and Geekout UK talking to developers about how to build scalable, microservice-centric Spring Boot applications on Cloud Foundry. It's been a lot fun talking to enthusiastic developers (on both sides of the Atlantic!). Without further ado, let's get on with the roundup! Spring Boot co-lead Phil Webb just announced the availability of Spring Boot 1.2.0.M2 which includes, among other things, auto-configuration for Jersey, log4j, commons-dbcp support, a smarter disk usage health…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week, I've been at the Couchbase Connect conference talking to developers about Spring Data Couchbase (and Spring Boot, Spring XD, Spring Session, and more..). Fun show, fun crowd! Next week, I'll be at JAX London and Geekout UK, so be sure to say hi if you're around. Now, with that, let's get on to the roundup.. The good Dr. Pollack just announced the 1.0.1 release of Spring XD, the easiest way to build data-integration and ingestion solutions. It may be only a 1.0.1 release, but make no mistake: there are some very cool features in…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This morning, I had the joy of presenting with my pal Joram Barrez on using the Activiti BPMN workflow engine with Spring (and Spring Boot). That talk should be online in the next few weeks or so. I'll also be co-presenting with Joram this week at the Alfresco Summit (on the very same topic). If you missed SpringOne2GX 2014, check out the Day 1 and Day 2 wrap ups where can learn about NetFlix, Spring Boot and microservice architecture, among many other things. The replay of the webinar talk that I gave last week, Bootiful Microservices…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! We're all back from last week's epic SpringOne2GX 2014, but not resting on our laurels! As soon as I returned from SpringOne2GX, I set about preparing for this morning's webinar, Bootiful Microservices with Spring Boot. That seems to have really resonated well and this is, principally, because [Spring Boot](http://spring.io/projects/spring-boot) and Spring Cloud are awesome! I can't until all the amazing videos on the topic from SpringOne2GX and this webinar itself are available to share with you. To me it feels like a way for Spring for…

SpringOne2GX kicked off with a bang on Monday night! "The Ebb and Flow" of Development The keynote kicked off with Pivotal's own SVP of R&D, Hugh Williams (formerly of e-Bay and Microsoft research) who talked about the ebb (the awkward interruptions in momentum) and flow of software development. Hugh touched on his prior lives at Microsoft (where he helped develop the Bing search engine) and at eBay (a huge Spring user, we learned!) and spoke about what Spring brings to the table: the ability to be nimble, agile. Spring IO Platform Next up was Spring framework lead [Juergen Hoeller](Spring…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This is the last installment of TWiS before SpringOne2GX 2014 kicks off next week! I, personally, am very excited! I can't wait to see you all there. This is going to be so much fun. So, let's get on to it! Spring Data lead Oliver Gierke has just announced the release of Spring Data Dijkstra SR4, filled with bug-fixes and all sorts of upgrade-now-worthy stuff. Check it out! Spring and Groovy & Grails Tool Suite lead Martin Lippert just announced 3.6.1. The new release updates tcServer to 3.0.0, includes build performance improvements…
