Hi Spring fans! It's the end of yet another season of Spring Tips! I finished season 5 very recently, and had planned to leave it there for a month or two, but there were so many amazing things yet uncovered and constantly being released that I ended up releasing more episodes for what would become season 6.

Please follow @SpringTipsLive on Twitter. I'd love any ideas you have for the new season. In the meantime, I'll still be doing the Bootiful Podcast (@BootifulPodcast on Twitter), if you want to listen instead of watch, and of course there is my weekly…

Microservice architectures are great, but as your application programming interfaces (APIs) start to grow, so do the challenges related to their maintenance.

For example, as an existing API matures and adds new features it will need to take its clients along with it on the journey. When the details of an API change, clients need to adjust in order to work with these changes. This process takes time and can really slow your APIs evolution and interfere with your ability to iterate quickly.
