Hi, Spring fans! DataStax and Spring are the classic Netflixian definition of a cloud-native, and for good reason:

• they scales
• they're easy
• they're easily operationalized

In this video, join DataStax's Patrick McFadin (@PatrickMcFadin), Cedrick Lunven (@clunven), and the Spring team's Josh Long (@starbuxman) as they introduce Bootiful Cassandra and look at some of the technology that continues to power some of the largest websites on the planet.

We are excited to announce the general availability of the Azure Spring Cloud Managed Virtual Network and Autoscale features. Both are critical to securely running production workloads at scale on the Azure Spring Cloud service.

Secure Azure Spring Cloud in Managed Virtual Network

With the Managed Virtual Network feature, you can provision the Azure Spring Cloud service in your virtual network which enables:

• Isolation of Azure Spring Cloud apps and service runtime from the internet on your corporate network.
• Interacting with systems in on-premises data centers or Azure services in other virtual networks.
• Controlling inbound and outbound network communications for Azure Spring Cloud.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! As usual, we've got a ton of stuff to get to so let's dive right in!

• Announcing Spring Native Beta!. This is by far the most important bit to come out of the last week! There is SO MUCH good stuff to ponder here. Spring Native is a set of hints that help GraalVM's native-image facility turn your dynamic Java code into a lightning fast, super lightweight, machine architecture-specific binary that you'll definitely want to invite to your next Docker container party. Tons of stuff just works out of the box. Native compilation is even supported on the Spring Initializr - just add Native to the selections! You can use @NativeHint…

Deploy Spring Boot applications by leveraging enterprise best practices – Azure Spring Cloud Reference Architecture

Today, we’re excited to announce the availability of the Azure Spring Cloud Reference Architecture. You can get started by deploying the Azure Spring Cloud Reference Architecture to accelerate and secure Spring Boot applications in the cloud at scale using validated best practices.

Over the past year, we worked with many enterprise customers to learn about their scenarios including thoughts on scaling properly, security, deployment, and cost requirements. Many of these customers…

Today, after one year and half of work, I am pleased to announce that we’re launching the beta release of Spring Native and its availability on start.spring.io!

In practice, that means that in addition to the regular Java Virtual Machine supported by Spring since its inception, we are adding beta support for compiling Spring applications to native images with GraalVM in order to provide a new way to deploy Spring applications. Java and Kotlin are supported.

Those native Spring applications can be deployed as a standalone executable (no JVM installation required) and offer interesting…
