Hi, Spring fans, from London! I'm in this fabulous country doing my level-headed best to refrain from dooing Mr. Bean bits, because, honestly, if I - an avid and prolific fan of Spring and its many beans - can't be "Mr. Bean," then I'm glad Rowan Atkinson is!

I'm here for a SpringOne Tour event, and I can't wait. Friends, let's dive right into it!

I'm in Venice, Italy, on a little vacation, but tomorrow I begin a quick journey to beautiful Sofia, Bulgaria, where I'll be speaking at the amazing JPrime software show (it's my first time speaking there, though not even my 20th time speaking in Bulgaria!).

Then, I turn right back around and head to Barcelona, Spain, for the not-to-be-missed Spring IO event! I love Spring IO, and you should too! It is, in my estimation, the premier Spring event in EMEA and an…

Spring Boot 3.3.0 has been released, and it contains support for SBOMs. SBOM stands for "Software Bill of Materials" and describes the components used to build a software artifact. In the context of this blog post, that's your Spring Boot application. These SBOMs are useful because they describe exactly what your application contains. With that information, you can assess if a security vulnerability affects your application, or use automated security tools to scan your applications and alert you on security vulnerabilities.

There are multiple SBOM formats out there, the most widely used ones are CycloneDX, SPDX, and Syft. Spring Boot 3.3.0 supports CycloneDX out of the box. The…

You can now use Azure Spring Apps to effectively run Spring Batch applications with adaptive cost control. You only pay when batch jobs are running, and you can simply lift and shift your Spring Batch jobs with no code change.
