Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's already April 28th, 2020. I can't even believe it.

The time sure is flying, not just since the last time we spoke in this little blog of ours, but also since I first started writing these roundups the first week of January 2011. In four short months, it'll have been ten years since I officially joined the Spring team! Crazy.

It's also the case that time has flown by since this #COVID19 crisis forced much of the world into lockdown. I am an eternal optimist, and I was wondering if this COVID19 crisis was going to have…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of Spring Tips! In this installment, we'll revisit two topics that we've addressed in two previous videos (distributed tracing and metrics collection) in terms of the superb Tanzu Wavefront observability platform.

The first video of the two videos, as mentioned above, dating way back in early 2017, looked at distributed tracing with spring cloud sleuth and openzipkin. Spring Cloud Sleuth is an abstraction for capturing the flow of messages from one node to another. It's useful to help you see how messages move through a system. Spring cloud sleuth integrates with all the usual ingress and egress points in a Spring Boot application. Make an HTTP request using either the Restteplat or the reactive WebClient or Spring Cloud Feign? It works. Receive an HTTP request to a traditional (Servlet-based) or…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of Spring tips! in this installment, we're going to look at something that's rather foundational, and something that I wish I'd addressed earlier: configuration. And no, I don't mean functional configuration or java configuration or anything like that, I'm talking about the string values that inform how your code executes. the stuff that you put in application.properites. that configuration.

All configuration in Spring emanates from the Spring Environment abstraction. The Environment is sort of like a dictionary - a map with keys and values. Environment is just an interface through which we can ask questions about, you know, the Environment. The abstraction lives in Spring Framework and was introduced in Spring 3, more than a decade ago. up until that point, there was a focused mechanism to allow integration of configuration called property placeholder resolution. This environment mechanism and the constellation of classes around that interface more than…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of Spring Tips. In this installment, we're going to look at the new support just released for building Spring Boot applications with GraalVM. We've looked at GraalVM and native images in another Spring Tips when we looked at Spring Fu.

GraalVM is several things. It's a C1 replacement for a standard OpenJDK install. You can listen to this episode of my podcast, A Bootiful Podcast, with GraalVM contributor and Twitter engineer Chris Thalinger, for more details on this use of GraalVM. It lets you run regular Sring…
