Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring.

We've got good stuff to get to but first, I want to invite you to be part of the discussion and consider submitting to the SpringOne Platform 2019 event. The call-for-papers opened today!

Now then, we've got a ton to get to this week so without further ado..

• WATCH: Hi Spring fans! In last week's Spring Tips I looked at testing reactive code.
• LISTEN: For last week's installment of The Bootiful Podcast I talked to Dror Weiss about Codota, which aims to bring much smarter code completion to your IDE
• Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.7.4 and Skipper 1.1.4 Released
• Spring Cloud Data Flow and Skipper 2.0 M2 Released
• Notice! The legacy question-and-answer forums will be shutdown February 28! The good news, of course, is that we're still on StackOverflow and we'd love to engage with you there!
• This is a bit meta, but would you like to learn a little more about what it is I (try) to do, in my capacity as the first Spring Developer Advocate at Pivotal? You might enjoy this episode of the Devrel Radio…

Hi Spring fans! In this installment I talk to Dror Weiss, CEO of Codota, a company that seeks to make smart code completion in your IDE even smarter.

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips, we look at how to test reactive applications and microservices with TDD style, inside-out testing from component to contract.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! First of all, Happy Lunar New Year, if you celebrate! (More than a billion people around the world do celebrate...)

Today I'm going to be giving a 4-hour presentation, Reactive Spring, for Safari members.

So, without further ado, let's get to it!

• Spring Session for Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire 2.0.8.RELEASE available!
• Last week in A Bootiful Podcast, I interviewed Spring messaging and integration maestro, and one of my oldest friends on the Spring team, Oleg Zhurakousky.
• Hi Spring fans! In last week's installment of Spring Tips, The Reactor Context, I look at how you can perpetuate state across thread execution jumps.
• If you're using older versions of Cloud Foundry then you might be using a vulnerable version of Java
• I really liked this response from Kenny Bastani on eventual consistency
• This is an interesting post on using …

I am pleased to announce Spring Session for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SSDG) 2.0.8.RELEASE.

SSDG builds on Spring Session 2.0.9.RELEASE, Spring Data Kay-SR13 and Spring Framework 5.0.12.RELEASE along with Apache Geode 1.2.1 and Pivotal GemFire 9.1.1. Additionally, SSDG 2.0.8.RELEASE is compatible with Spring Boot 2.0.x based applications.

This release pulls in many enhancements from the 2.1.x release branch along with a few minor fixes. Highlights include:

1. Prevent saving non-dirty Sessions (Issue-12). This primarily protects against Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire bug GEODE-6032.

2. Standardize all logging on SLF4J (Issue-18).

3. Fixed bug involving incorrect synchronization lock on Session attributes passed down from the Session object on creation.

4. Fixed bug involving Data Serialization to properly identify when a user uses a custom DataSerializer to de/serialize the Session.

Hi Spring fans! In this installment we talk to Oleg Zhurakousky, lead of the Spring Cloud Stream project, an application integration and messaging wonk, and a prolific contributor to Spring Integration. Oleg also has the dubious honor of being one of my oldest friends on the Spring team - poor guy!

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips we answer the question, "how do I propagate state across asynchronous, reactive execution pipelines?"

speaker: Josh Long

Hi Spring fans! Can you believe we're already staring down February?? I'm still shaking off the vacation feels from the holiday break. I'm at the airport, SFO, a few minutes after midnite in PST, waiting to board for my flight to Houston, a connection en route to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the epic SpringOne Tour event - the first of a brand new year! I look forward to seeing y'all there!

Anyway, we've got tons to get to so let's!

• Spring IO Platform Cairo-SR7
• Spring IO Platform Brussels-SR16
• Spring Cloud Greenwich.RELEASE is now available
• …

In this installment of the pod we talk to Madhura Bhave, an engineer on the Spring Boot team who has improved the project in big ways - working on things like security, actuator, OAuth and more - since she moved from her epic run on the Cloud Foundry and UAA teams. We recorded this interview in August of 2018.
