Introduction

So far in this series we have introduced the new stream applications based on Java functions, and function composition. We have also provided detailed examples of how to build a source from a supplier and a sink from a consumer. Here we continue the journey with the first of several case studies to follow. Each case study demonstrates how to use one or more of the available pre-packaged Spring Boot stream applications, in various scenarios, to build data streaming pipelines.

Today we will showcase two of the most commonly used applications, the HTTP source and the JDBC sink. We will use them to build a simple service that accepts HTTP POST requests and saves the contents to a database table. We will first run these as standalone Spring Cloud Stream applications, and then show how to orchestrate the same pipeline with Spring Cloud Data Flow…

Dear Spring community,

Spring Web Services Samples (spring-ws-samples) has been upgraded!

You might have known this, but many parts of this collection of samples goes all the way back to 2006. Today, I am happy to report it has been updated in a multitude of ways.

• Introduction to Spring Boot

• Introduction to Spring Data

• Removal of outdated technologies

• Removal of redundant samples

This was a hard-won task that took me several weeks, but based on the incredible persistence of SOAP, it was something that had to be done to serve the Spring community.

Spring Cloud Data Flow team is pleased to announce the release of 2.6.0.

This 2.6.0 adds usual bug fixes and the following key highlights:

• Wavefront New integration to monitor streams and tasks using Wavefront. More about this feature can be found from Stream Monitoring and Task Monitoring

• Platform Support for Scheduling Tasks scheduling now have a platform support. See Scheduling Tasks

• Java CFEnv We're now on a new version of Java CFEnv which greatly improves user experience when there is a need to bind to user created services.

• Bitnami We've moved from a Helm Hub to Bitnami as a helm chart storage.

• Composed Task Runner as SCDF native module Composed Task Runner is now an integral part of SCDF itself and gets registered implicitly while the users who have the custom composed task runner can still override the native one. This enables us to integrate the composed tasks management within the context of Spring Cloud Data Flow.
