Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I just finished recording my session with IntelliJ IDEA project lead Aleksey Stukalov about all the amazing features coming to IntelliJ IDEA to better support Java, Kotlin, and Spring developers.

It went off without a hitch (even though we're using a few early features), and I want to thank the Jetbrains team for the chance to participate.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This time, I'm talking to you after an insane week behind me. Last week I flew from San Francisco to Stockholm, Sweden where I was the speaker for the JForum event, a monthly meetup. Spring drew the largest audience to JForum since before the pandemic! Then, it was off to beautiful Barcelona for the fantastic Spring I/O event, where I did a keynote with Dr Mark Pollack on Spring AI, then hosted a joint talk with Spring cofounders Rod Johnson and Juergen Hoeller. Then, I did a joint talk with GraalVM found and Oracle vice…

Vector representations allow for more efficient and effective search (Vector Search) of similar items. Vector search is typically used to build Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and so there is demand for vector databases.

While new vector databases are on the rise, existing database engines are gradually incorporating vector search…
