Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another extra-meaty installment of This Week in Spring! This week, we've got a ton of stuff to look at so I won't belabor it! Tomorrow, the 1st of April, marks the 6 year anniversary of Spring Boot 1.0 going GA! Happy birthday my old friend! Spring Data Neumann goes RC1 Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire 1.2.6.RELEASE Available @DynamicPropertySource in Spring Framework 5.2.5 and Spring Boot 2.2.6 In last week's episode of A Bootiful Podcast, I talk to Apache Groovy, Testcontainers, and Reactor committer Sergei Egorov Spring Boot 2.2.6 available now…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of Spring Tip! In this installment, we look at something near and dear to my heart (and my @author tag!) - the Cloud Foundry Java client auto-configuration. What is Cloud Foundry? Cloud Foundry is an open-source PaaS. It has a lot of flexibility. I'm in love with it if I'm honest. It's simple. I love things like it that give me flexibility without requiring too many sacrifices at the altar of the YAML deity. It's an opinionated platform as a service. You give the platform an application, and it deploys them. You upload a spring boot app, and it…

speaker: Josh Long (@starbuxman) Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of Spring Tips! In this installment, we're going to look at a new feature in Spring Cloud, Spring Cloud Loadbalancer. Spring Cloud Loadbalancer is a generic abstraction that can do the work that we used to do with Netflix's Ribbon project. Spring Cloud still supports Netflix Ribbon, but Netflix Ribbons days are numbered, like so much else of the Netflix microservices stack, so we've provided an abstraction to support an alternative. The Service Registry For us to use the Spring Cloud Load Balancer, we need to have…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's a beautiful Tuesday for any number of reasons. I presented in the DevDotNext digital edition show just a few hours ago - that was a lot of fun and I highly recommend you consider attending the next editions (online or - assuming we get past this pandemic - online). Today is also the 16th birthday of Spring Framework 1.0 - released this day in 2004! What a journey! And of course, the person who announced that that version, the amazing Thomas Risberg (@trisberg), is one of many people who were there then and are still…

Hi, Spring fans! We hope you'll join us for an interactive, 24-hour long, virtual conference called Spring Live. Here's what you need to know: it's 24-hours long, end to end, so there's bound to be content you can watch no matter what part of the world you're in. It's free!

Some speakers are going to pre-record their talks proper just so they can spend the entire slot for their talk answering questions and interacting directly with you. We've invited experts from the wide world of Springdom from VMWare…

Spring Tips: FTP Integration speaker: Josh Long (@starbuxman) Hi, Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips, we look at a topic that's near and dear to my heart: integration! And yes, you may recall that the very first installment of Spring Tips looked at Spring Integration. If you haven't already watched that one, you should. So, while we're not going to revisit Spring Integration fundamentals, we're going to take a deep dive into one area fo support in Spring Integration: FTP. FTP is all about file synchronization. Broadly, in the world of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), we…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to yet another installment of This Week in Spring! We're already midway through March 2020, and I can't believe how crazy things have gotten! You're no doubt experiencing something equally as odd too. The pandemic has truly changed this world in a way nothing else has in recent memory. It's crazy to think about the course this virus has taken and the journey we've all taken along with it. I live in San Francisco, and we're currently under lockdown. It's technically a crime now to leave your home for anything but essential needs like food, medicine, or walking the dog…
