Dear Spring community,

On behalf of the development team, it is my pleasure to announce that a feature-complete Spring Framework 5.3 release candidate is available from our milestone repository now! Check out the list of new features and upgrade notes on our GitHub wiki, including several deprecation notes.

As the last feature branch of the 5.x generation, we are preparing the 5.3.x line for general availability in late October - with an extended maintenance phase up until 2024. While we strongly encourage appropriate migration steps, all of our deprecated packages are going to remain in place…

On behalf of the community, I’d like to announce the availability of the first Spring Vault milestone release 2.3.0-M1 of the 2.3 development line.

• A ReactiveVaultEndpointProvider for non-blocking lookup of VaultEndpoint that can be used for reactive service discovery.

• VaultKeyValueMetadataOperations for Key-Value metadata interaction.

• Updates to our documentations specifically on how to use Vault’s various secret backends with Spring Vault.

For a complete list of changes see the 2.3.0-M1 changelog…

Back in July the Spring team asked for your input on a range of Spring-related topics. And wow! What a response!

Thank you to the 1024 developers, architects, and managers across the globe that took time out of their day to complete the survey. We’ve crunched the numbers, filtered & mashed up the results to distill the most compelling insights into the State of Spring 2020 report.

Thanks to everyone that completed the survey. We look forward to making this report an annual event, following the growth, success, and evolution of our community.

This article is part of a blog series that explores the newly redesigned Spring Cloud Stream applications based on Java Functions. In this episode, we are exploring the JDBC supplier and the source based on Spring Cloud Stream. We will see how we can export data from a relational database and dump it into a file using a File Consumer and the corresponding Spring Cloud Stream File sink. We will look at a few different ways in which we can run JDBC Source and send the data to a file.
