Hi, Spring fans! What a week it's been! Tomorrow I'll be presenting a webinar on the easy integration between Spring Boot and Tanzu Wavefront. Wavefront is an all-in-one, integrated distributed tracing metrics analytics observability platform. Join us tomorrow to learn about observability, about Wavefront, and their integration in the Spring ecosystem with Spring Cloud Sleuth and Micrometer, among other things.

We've so many great things to look at this week so let's get to it!
