Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.0.0 M3 Released

Releases | Mark Fisher | April 29, 2016 | ...

On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce the 1.0.0.M3 release of Spring Cloud Data Flow.

Over the last few months, we have added exciting new features and improvements to the overall orchestration of data microservices on a variety of platforms. We have also made some changes that significantly benefit developers, such as exposing Spring Boot Starters for all of the stream and task applications we publish. Following are some of the highlights from this release:

  • Provides the foundation for the following Data Flow Server implementations that have also been released today:
  • Introduces and builds upon the Spring Cloud Deployer Service Provider Interface
    • New multi-platform application deployment model factored out of Spring Cloud Data Flow itself for general purpose use, including AppDeployer and TaskLauncher to deploy long-running and short-lived microservices, respectively.
    • Improved application resolution strategy with support for maintaining a registry of applications as http, file, maven, docker, or hdfs artifacts
  • Builds upon Spring Cloud Stream 1.0.0.RC3
  • Builds upon Spring Cloud Task 1.0.0.M2
  • Improves DSL support for streaming and batch pipelines
