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

• today, Spring Cloud, based on Spring Boot 3.2, goes GA! Don't miss this!
• I love this blog by Spring Framework legend Sébastien Deleuze on CDS with Spring Framework 6.1
• I really enjoyed this discussion with Spring Security community legend Laur Spilca
• there's a very interesting blog post here on how Netflix increased application performance with Spring Boot 3 on Java 17
• Digma has a nice blog looking at the new features in Spring Boot 3.2
• I like this blog looking at the power of the ResponseEntity<?>
• the state of the Octoverse blog from yesterday is really interesting! Typescript and Java changed places, which makes sense because Typescript is encroachign on JavaScript's territory and JavaScript is arguably the number one most popular (or infamous, anyway) language. Also: Singapore apparently has more than one million developers, which is great because there's not even six million people in the country, making it the country with the highest ratio of developers to population. Well done!
• Interesting blog looking at Java 21's virtual threads in a Spring Boot application
• there's a nice blog here on pessimistic locking in Spring Boot
• the good folks at Azul Systems, and fellow Java Champion Gerrit Grunwald in particular, have an amazing blog looking at Spring Boot 3.2 and CRaC
