Engineering | Josh Long | December 27, 2022 | ...

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's 27 December as I write this and - being honest - I couldn't be happier. It's raining outside. I'm in a warm cozy office. Good music is playing. People are asleep in my home. I can hear the raindrops and wind outside the window. I'm at peace as I code. And code I have. I've been updating my blog, and a half dozen little side projects, to the new Spring Boot 3. This has given me a chance to do a little, shall we say, Spring cleaning, and also update my Github Actions to the latest and greatest. I'm pleasantly surprised…

Hi, Spring fans! It's the 20th of December, 2022 as I write this, which means that by the time we meet again, here on this humble blog, Tuesday next week, Christmas will already have come and gone.

Do more with Azure Spring Apps – scale to zero and enhance productivity

Engineering | Josh Long | December 07, 2022 | ...

In 2020, Spotify coined the term "Golden Path” to refer to a supported approach and set of components to build and deploy software. Having these paths simplifies the development process, lets developers focus on their applications instead of infrastructure and speeds time to production. Microsoft and VMware have partnered to make Azure Spring Apps a golden path for deploying and scaling Spring applications in the cloud.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How are you? You know what I've wanted to do? See my friends on the Spring team in person since the pandemic descended. And, I'm overjoyed to relate, I've just had the privilege of a nice meeting with several of them last night. And I'm going to see more of them today! Seriously. I feel like I won the lottery. I've missed my friends. Hug your friends and family, friends. You never know when the next pandemic (or life in general) will put distance between you and them. So, in order to close that distance, I'm going to go…

Engineering | Greg L. Turnquist | December 02, 2022 | ...

With the recent announcement of Spring Boot 3.0 going GA, some of you may be interested in upgrading your Spring Web Services-based applications to take full advantage of this. The Spring WS team has upgraded our set of sample apps to help you carry that out.
