Hi, Spring fans! In this installment I talk to the Tanzu legend Chris Sterling, who works on making Spring an even more valuable part of a platform. (This episode was recorded live at the epic SpringOne 2024 event!)
How can Spring Boot developers improve the runtime efficiency of their applications with minimal constraints in order to enjoy those benefits on most applications? The answer is the CDS support introduced by Spring Boot 3.3 which allows you to start your Spring Boot applications faster and consume less memory. It is based on the foundation introduced by Spring Framework 6.1 that I presented a few months ago.
A key point is that this new CDS support provides a different value proposition compared to the GraalVM native image support: the improvements you get with CDS are less dramatic than with…
Hi, Spring fans, from the expo hall of SpringOne at VMware Explore 2024! There's a livestream of some of the key talks - register and watch for free now at SpringOne.io.

Logging is a long established part of troubleshooting applications and one of the three pillars of observability, next to metrics and traces. No one likes flying blind in production, and when incidents happen, developers are happy to have log files. Logs are often written out in a human-readable format.
Structured logging is a technique where the log output is written in a well-defined, often machine-readable format. This format can be fed into log management systems and enables powerful search and analytics capabilities. One of the most commonly used formats for structured logging is JSON.
With Spring Boot 3.4, structured logging is supported out of the box. It supports the Elastic Common Schema (ECS) and Logstash…
