Hi, Spring fans! This week I rant about push-button simple deployments and then talk to our friend and Spring and Java community member Eddú Meléndez about working in open-source, his journey to Spring and its community, his various contributions to Spring and more.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to the recap installment for the seventh season of Spring Tips! I can't believe we're already on season seven! In October of 2020, it'll be 4 straight years of doing these videos. Hopefully, they're helping. Every season consists of 11 episodes and one recap blog post. Sometimes, I'll do an occasional extra episode or I'll do an episode during the interregnum between seasons as the situations sometimes demand. But, for now, I'm done for a little while - not as long as last time, for sure! But a little while. I need time to gather my resources, prepare new content…

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…

speaker: Josh Long (@starbuxman) 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…

Hi, Spring fans! In this episode Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to Linux kernel hacker and Linux Real-Time patch founder Steve Rostedt on observing the Linux kernel and on what it sees when it looks at our busy Java and Spring applications. Steve is on IRC on #LINUX-RT on OFT LWN.net

speaker: Josh Long (@starbuxman) 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…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's been another fun-filled week since we last spoke.
