Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How're you doin'? I've been busy as all get out emceeing the Reactive Summit 2021 event (it's free and it's online!). The event has been awe-inspiring because there are so many amazing speakers from all walks of life present and speaking. Today, the conference welcomed professor Carl Hewitt, the creator of the Actor Paradigm, as its keynote. Then, figuring there was no topping that and figuring they could go for broke, they foolishly ( muahahah! ) asked me to do the day two keynote. So, I'll be doing tomorrow's keynote…

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to Paketo contributor Daniel Mikusa about buildpacks, Paketo, containers, UPX, and so much more

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, the first of a series, Josh Long looks at the venerable @Controller annotation and its use supporting Model 2 MVC-style web applications.

When we got the results back from the latest State Of Spring survey, 67% of you said you would like to see better support for service discovery and configuration management on Kubernetes.

With the release of Spring Cloud 2021.0.0-M3, we are taking a big step forward to addressing both of these concerns!

Spring Cloud Kubernetes has offered a DiscoveryClient implementation since its inception. However, the implementation required the application to have permissions to use the Kubernetes API server. This proved to be a major barrier for many Spring Cloud user’s, as Kubernetes administrators…

The recently released Spring Boot 2.5.6 and 2.4.12 releases contain fixes for the following security vulnerabilities:

Please, review the reports and upgrade!

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How are you?

I'm doing well, as always. I literally just wrapped up presenting a fun session at the Russian Joker conference all about Spring and GraphQL. I got a ton of great questions from an enthusiastic audience. Thanks so much for joining me, everyone. I've got to get to other meetings, though, so let's get this wonderful week in Spring out of the way!

• Spring Tips: refreshable configuration with Spring Cloud Bus, and the Spring Cloud Config Monitor
• In last week's A Bootiful Podcast, I talked to RabbitMQ and Weaveworks founder Alexis Richardson about RabbitMQ, Pivotal, Spring, Kubernetes, and FluxCD
• A great article that @Javinpaul linked me to: What is @PropertySource in Spring Framework?
• fellow Java Champion Andres Almiray has just released a very cool sample Spring Boot application demonstrating some features of the JReleaser project, which aims to make deploying artifacts as easy as possible.
• Want to learn Spring Boot? Check out …

Today, we are excited to announce the integration of AppDynamics in the Azure Spring Cloud for full stack observability.

Over the past 20 months, we worked with many enterprise customers to learn about the scenarios they face. Many of these customers have thousands of Spring Boot applications running in on-premises data centers. As they migrate these applications to the cloud, they need to instrument them for application performance monitoring (APM) using solutions their developers are familiar with and have been using for years. In addition, they must ensure continuity for desktop and mobile…

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, we'll look at fully refreshable configuration using the Spring Cloud Config Server, Spring Cloud Bus, and Spring Cloud Config Monitor.

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, Josh Long (@starbuxman) talk to RabbitMQ and Weaveworks founder Alexis Richardson (@monadic) about RabbitMQ, Pivotal, Spring, Kubernetes, and FluxCD. NB: this interview was done a year ago, and I was just playing with FluxCD these last few weeks and I figured it was finally time to release this episode! Thanks so much Alexis for sharing and teaching us so much!
