On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce the release of the second milestone of Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.1. You can download the local server that is part of this release here.

The 1.1 M2 release includes the following new features and improvements:

• Builds upon Boot 1.4.1 and Spring Cloud Camden improvements

• Task application properties can now be referenced using non-prefixed property names

• Add visual representation for related streams. This representation also includes nested TAPs and the downstream processing nodes in an overall topology view.

• The UI adds bulk import support for Task definitions. This allows importing task definitions from a file or the ability to add multiple task-definitions using the Flo-editor

• The flo-editor embeds CodeMirror for incremental DSL syntax validation and error reporting. There’s also a toggle on/off button to enable and disable incremental validations.

• Adds a form-based login page for non-OAUTH backend authentication methods such as the LDAP, Basic and File-based options.

• Adds the ability to pass application specific properties via YAML file. This is particularly useful when deploying streams with that set many deployment properties.

Speakers: Mark Pollack, Mark Fisher Spring Cloud Data Flow enables you to create data pipelines for many common use-cases such as data ingestion, real-time analytics and data import/export. In this webinar, we will introduce Spring Cloud Data Flow’s architecture and walk through the orchestration capabilities of long-running and short-lived data-centric applications on multiple runtime platforms such as Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, Apache Mesos and Apache YARN. Spring Cloud Data Flow represents the evolution of Spring XD and retains the DSL to define data pipelines as well as the web based UI…

We are pleased to announce that Spring Cloud Task 1.1.0.M2 is now available via Github and the Pivotal download repository. Many thanks to all of those who contributed to this release.

What's new in Spring Cloud Task 1.1.0.M2

This release continues to progress on 1.1.0's main theme of improving overall task functionality as well as migrating features that existed within Spring XD to Spring Cloud Task. The main updates for this release are the following:

• Support for Generated Task Id - A common use case for a Spring Cloud Task application is to launch it within a PaaS, like Cloud Foundry or…

TDD introduced many improvements into the development process, but in our opinion the biggest impact relates to code design. Looking at the code from the usage perspective (by first writing an acceptance test) allows us to focus on usability rather than concrete implementation. Unfortunately, we usually rest on our laurels not trying to uplift this practice to the architecture level.

This presentation will show you how you can use the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier functionality in order to have a fully automated solution to stub your HTTP / Messaging collaborators. Just by adding proper…
