Hi Spring fans! I'm in delightful Denver and Boulder, Colorado, talking to customers and working with my buddies Matt Raible and James Ward on our Spring One Platform 2019 talk. It's going to be amazing!

I'm oh-so-excited to be working on today's roundup, as usual, because there's a ton of good stuff to cover, so let's get to it!

We are pleased to announce the third Milestone of the Spring Cloud Stream Horsham.M3 (3.0.0.M3).

Securing Services with Spring Cloud Gateway

Engineering | Ben Wilcock | August 16, 2019 | ...

So far in this series, we've covered Getting Started and Hiding Services with Spring Cloud Gateway. However, when we set about hiding our services, we didn't secure them. In this article, we'll correct this.

To secure our services, we'll use the Token Relay pattern supported by OAuth 2.0 and the Javascript Object Signing & Encryption (JOSE) and JSON Web Tokens standards. This will give our users a means to identify themselves, authorize applications to view their profile and access the secured resources behind the gateway.

All the code for this demo is published online in GitHub in the secured-gateway folder. If you just want to run it without understanding how it was built, skip ahead to the section entitled "Running The Demo".

This Week in Spring - August 13, 2019

Engineering | Josh Long | August 13, 2019 | ...

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of a This Week in Spring! I've just finished one of the most amazing experiences of my life - O'Reilly's "Foo Camp," an unconference where invited guests can camp on the O'Reilly Media campus headquarters and talk to each other. I met, among a zillion other people, former California governor Jerry Brown, former Estonian president Toomas Hendrik Ilves, and so many more. Now I'm in terrific Texas talking to our wonderful customers in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Plano. I'm also speaking at the Dallas MUG tomorrow night, if you're around and want…

It is time - Goodbye Spring Boot 1.x!

Engineering | Madhura Bhave | August 06, 2019 | ...

As mentioned in the announcement last year, the Spring Boot 1.x line has reached end of life. Spring Boot 1.5.22 which was released earlier today will be the last release in the 1.x. line.

We expect most users to have upgraded their applications to Spring Boot 2.x. For those that haven't migrated yet, we strongly advise doing so as soon as possible. There are detailed instructions on how to migrate from 1.x to 2.x in the migration guide. For a smooth upgrade experience, we recommend upgrading in phases instead of jumping straight to the latest stable release. Once the upgrade from the latest…
