This Week in Spring - February 28th, 2023

Engineering | Josh Long | February 28, 2023 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I'm writing this installment from a hotel room in Dallas, Texas, in the USA. Last night I had the privilege of hanging out with some of my friends from the local Java scene. Today I meet with customers. It's going to be a nice few days indeed.

Web applications and Project Loom

Engineering | Mark Thomas | February 27, 2023 | ...

Introduction

Project Loom aims to bring "easy-to-use, high-throughput, lightweight concurrency" to the JRE. One feature introduced by Project Loom is virtual threads. In this blog post, we'll be exploring what virtual threads mean for web applications using some simple web applications deployed on Apache Tomcat.

High-throughput / Lightweight

The first experiment was to compare the overhead associated with using Tomcat's standard thread pool to the overhead associated with using a virtual thread (Loom) based executor. The test environment used is detailed at the end of this post. Performance…

Spring Cloud Function for Azure Function

Engineering | Christian Tzolov | February 24, 2023 | ...

What is the Spring Cloud Function?

Spring Cloud Function is a SpringBoot-based framework allowing users to concentrate on their business logic by implementing them as Java Functions (i.e., Supplier, Function, Consumer). In turn the framework provides necessary abstraction to enable execution of these functions in various environments (e.g., REST, Streaming) as well as serverless environments such as AWS Lambda or Azure Functions, without having to worry about the underlying platform-specific details. This allows developers to focus on writing their business logic and let the framework handle…

From Spring Native to Spring Boot 3

Engineering | Sébastien Deleuze | February 23, 2023 | ...

Today, we are finishing to transition the Spring support for building native executables from the experimental Spring Native project to the official Spring Boot GraalVM native image support.

In practice, that means we are archiving the Spring Native GitHub repository and moving it to the https://github.com/spring-attic organization. There will be no new release of Spring Native (based on Spring Boot 2.x) and we are encouraging all Spring Boot users to migrate to Spring Boot 3.x to leverage its official native support.

This Week in Spring - February 21, 20223

Engineering | Josh Long | February 21, 2023 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How're you? I almost forgot today was Tuesday! Here in the US, we had a three day weekend for President's day, and also I've been streaming for a few hours every day (or almost every day on my little YouTube channel) so the days kinda have blurred together. I'm so glad I caught a glimpse of the calendar or I might have missed this installment. We've got a ton of stuff to get to this week so let's dive right into it!

Also: next week I'll be in Dallas! Let me know if you wanna grab some code and coffee?

Hi, Spring fans! It's early Tuesday morning for me. I'm preparing to head to Chicago, Illinois to meet some customers and have myself a grand ol' time in the windy city. I hope you're doing well, I certainly am.
