On behalf of the Spring, Apache Geode and Pivotal GemFire communities, it is my pleasure to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SBDG) 1.3.0.M4.

SBDG 1.3.0.M4 builds on Spring Boot 2.3.0.M4 and is based on Spring Framework 5.2.5.RELEASE, Spring Data Neumann-RC1, Spring Session for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SSDG) 2.3.0.RC2 and Spring Test for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (STDG) 0.0.14.RELEASE.

Additionally, SBDG 1.3.0.M4 is now based on Apache Geode 1.12.0 and Pivotal GemFire 9.10.0.

You can find the 1.3.0.M4 release bits in the Spring Milestone Repository as well as on start.spring.io by using the Spring Initializer to create a Spring for Apache Geode…

On behalf of the community, I am pleased to announce that the Milestone 1 (M1) of the Spring Cloud 2020.0.0 (Code Name: Ilford) Release Train is available today. The release can be found in the Spring Milestone repository. You can check out the 2020 release notes for more information.

Notable Changes in the 2020 Release Train

We have changed our release train versioning scheme. We now follow Calendar Versioning or calver for short. We will follow the YYYY.MINOR.MICRO scheme where MINOR is an incrementing number that starts at zero each year. The MICRO segment corresponds to suffixes previously used: .0 is analogous to .RELEASE and .2 is analogous to .SR2. Pre-release suffixes will also change from using a . to a - for the separator, for example 2020.0.0-M1 and 2020.0.0-RC2. We will also stop prefixing snapshots with BUILD- -- for example 2020.0.0-SNAPSHOT…

Hi, Spring fans! In today's installment, Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to Jetbrains developer advocacy head and Kotlin rockstar Hadi Hariri (@hhariri) about all things Kotlin, ecosystem, Jetbrains, and more.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of Spring Tips. In this installment, we're going to look at the new support just released for building Spring Boot applications with GraalVM. We've looked at GraalVM and native images in another Spring Tips when we looked at Spring Fu.

GraalVM is several things. It's a C1 replacement for a standard OpenJDK install. You can listen to this episode of my podcast, A Bootiful Podcast, with GraalVM contributor and Twitter engineer Chris Thalinger, for more details on this use of GraalVM. It lets you run regular Sring…

I am pleased to announce the Spring Authorization Server project. It is a community-driven project led by the Spring Security team and is focused on delivering Authorization Server support to the Spring community.

A Foundation for Success

The story of how we got here is long, but the key takeaway is short and sweet: Spring would not be what it is without our amazing community.

Almost a decade ago, we brought in a community-driven, open-source project, Spring Security OAuth, and made it part of the Spring portfolio of projects. Since its inception, it has evolved into a mature project that supports a large portion of the OAuth specification, including resource servers, clients, login, and the authorization server. It is no wonder that it has become the basis for UAA, which, among other things, acts as the identity management service for all Cloud Foundry…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's been a crazy week so let's delay not even one second longer!

• In last week's A Bootiful Podcast, I talked with Microsoft’s Kushagra Thapar on Spring Data Cosmosdb
• Have you seen the new Spring Graal Native 0.6.0 support?
• In last week's Spring Tips, I looked at the Spring Integration Kotlin DSL
• Want help on effectively pair programming remotely? Our experts are here to help
• This Month in RabbitMQ went out - don't miss these roundups!
• A nice post looking at when to Use Eirini, Quarks or KubeCF for Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes
• Apache Geode: A Quick History. Apache Geode, the open source project that underpins the Gemfire in-memory data-grid, has had a long and storied road to where it is now. You can use it easily with Spring Boot and the Spring Data for Apache Geode project - I did a Spring Tips video on the topic a little while ago…

Hi, Spring fans! In this episode, we talk to Kushagra Thapar who is a senior software engineer at Microsoft working on the world-class, and world-wide Azure CosmosDB.

The Spring team have just released version 0.6.0 of the spring-graalvm-native project. This project is intended to make it easier for anyone trying to build GraalVM native images of their Spring applications.

For a deep dive on native images with Spring, please see the Devoxx talk by Sébastien Deleuze.

In this blog post we’ll talk about what has changed since then and point you to some key resources enabling you to try it out! This project is in the spring-projects-experimental github org, indicating it is a work in progress, but we have a number of sample applications showing the kinds of…
