Engineering | Josh Long | January 29, 2019 | ...

Hi Spring fans! Can you believe we're already staring down February?? I'm still shaking off the vacation feels from the holiday break.

I look forward to seeing y'all there!

Anyway, we've got tons to get to so let's!

Hi Spring fans!

Manual Bean Definitions in Spring Boot

Engineering | Dave Syer | January 21, 2019 | ...

Suppose you want to use Spring Boot, but you don’t want to @EnableAutoConfiguration. What should you do exactly? In an earlier article I showed that Spring is intrinsically fast and lightweight, but one of the short pieces of advice improve startup time was to consider manually importing the Spring Boot autoconfigurations, instead of sucking them all in automatically.
