Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Washington D.C., delivering some cloud-native realtalk at the Agile 2015 conference with my pal Andrew Clay Shafer then it's off to Denver, CO, again to speak to customers! If you're in either area, say hi!

We're fast approaching SpringOne2GX 2015! Things are getting exciting around here as the team delivers more and more amazing bits! The weeks to come, leading into SpringOne2GX, are my favorite time of the year. Watch this space for new releases aplenty!

Microservices with Spring

Engineering | Paul Chapman | July 14, 2015 | ...

Introduction

NOTE: Revised July 2019

A simple example of setting up a microservices system using Spring, Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.

Microservices allow large systems to be built up from a number of collaborating components. It does at the process level what Spring has always done at the component level: loosely coupled processes instead of loosely coupled components.

Shopping Application

For example imagine an online shop with separate microservices for user-accounts, product-catalog order-processing and shopping carts:

Inevitably there are a number of moving parts that you have to setup and configure to…

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring!

This week in I'm in Shanghai, China and Hangzhou, China and Shenzhen, China, talking to some of the world's largest websites (of the same scale of Netflix!) about their use of Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. (More on that later!)

  • Spring Boot 1.3M2 - along with new support for JOOQ, /flyway and /liquibase Actuator endpoints, ANSI colored banner.txt, and Apache Artemis integration (among many other things) is now available! Check it out.
  • If you missed Spring rockstar and Spring Boot ninja Greg Turnquist's talk on debugging and maintaing Spring Boot applications (why would you miss it??), then check it out
  • This is a nice

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I was in London, last week, for Devoxx UK. The show was a rousing success all around. I gave a talk, a workshop, and was delighted to participate in the closing keynote, too! This week I'm in Kraków, Poland, for Devoxx Poland (né 33rd Degree) which seems to be an amazing success as well! I want to thank the organizers (Mark Hazell and Grzegorz Duda of Devoxx UK and PL respectively) for inviting me - I haven't had this much fun in a while and I love the communities that both events serve.

In addition to being in the keynote, I was…

Spring Guides Move to Java 8

Engineering | Greg L. Turnquist | June 17, 2015 | ...

Perhaps you've noticed some recent articles lately?

Okay, those last two aren't articles, but were instead driven by the the rapid adoption of Java 8. Java 8 has been picked up by the development community FAST. Here on the Spring team, we believe strongly in adopting Java 8 for new applications. To support that and improve your own ability to move as well, we just updated all of the Spring Getting Started Guides

Spring XD Benchmarks Part 1

Engineering | Glenn Renfro | June 17, 2015 | ...

#Introduction#

A common question when developing streaming applications is, “How many events per second can you process?”. The primary purpose of this blog post is to answer that question without falling into the classic benchmarking conundrum of benchmarking versus "benchmarketing". The common approach with 'native' benchmarking applications provide by messaging middleware vendors is to focus on raw data transport speed, without serialization or deserialization of the message data and without any data processing. In Part 1 of the series, we will follow this approach.
