Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, Josh Long (@starbuman) talks about pumpkin spice lattes, COVID, labor day, and then gets to talk to Spring Security engineer Josh Cummings (@jzheaux)

Hi, Spring fans! I am still reeling from the craziness of last week's SpringOne event! That doesn't mean that the world's stood still in the interim though! Quite the contrary! There's a ton of things to get to this week so without further ado let's go!

• In last week's, A Bootiful Podcast, I briefly recap some of the excitement from SpringOne 2021 and then talked Jackson and Woodstox creator Tatu Saloranta
• I loved Spring Framework lead Juergen Hoeller's post A Java 17 and Jakarta EE 9 baseline for Spring Framework 6
• Announcing Spring Data YugabyteDB - The Distributed SQL Blog
• Announcing VMware Tanzu Application Platform: A Better Developer Experience on any Kubernetes
• Check out the SpringOne 2021 keynotes
• Speaking of SpringOne, I loved this silly moment in one of the talks from Jetbrains' Hadi Hariri: Spring is not Spring without @starbuxman…

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, Josh Long (@starbuxman ) breathlessly recaps some of the exciting news from the just-finished SpringOne 2021 event and then talks to Jackson and Woodstox creator Tatu Saloranta (@cowtowncoder)

Today, we are excited to announce the integration of the Dynatrace Software Intelligence Platform in Azure Spring Cloud.

Over the past 18 months, we worked with many enterprise customers to learn about the scenarios they face. Many of these customers have thousands of Spring Boot applications running in on-premises data centers. As they migrate these applications to the cloud, they need to instrument them for application performance monitoring (APM) using solutions their developers are familiar with and have been using for years. In addition, they must ensure continuity for desktop and mobile…

Hi, Spring fans! Can you believe it? SpringOne 2021 kicks off in less than 24 hours! Have you registered? It's free and it's virtual, but the talks are live and there'll be ample opportunity to talk to the Spring and Tanzu teams behinds the scenes. And, of course, I'll be there. Also, don't miss tomorrow mornings opening keynote, which I'll be emceeing. And please don't miss my session on Azure Spring Cloud with Julien Dubois and Layla Porter. There are a ton of great talks over the next two days. Do not miss these! Alrigty my friends, we've got a ton of stuff to review so without further ado…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! In this installment, Josh Long talks to Richard North (@whichrich) and Sergei Egorov (@bsideup) about Testcontainers, their new company AtomicJar, and software licensing, among other things.

Hi, Spring fans, and welcome to another riveting roundup of all the news that's fit to reprint in the Java and Spring ecosystems, with apologies, as always, to The Times. We're a week away from SpringOne 2021, our annual, free, and utterly online tentpole conference featuring hundreds of hours of amazing technical content from speakers all around the world and tens of thousands of attendees with whom to partake in the festivities. Do not miss this! I'll be there!

I get so excited in the leadup to SpringOne each year, and this year doubly so! First, there's the usual monumental scope of the whole thing, which always gets me. I also just got my first (of hopefully many) negative COVID-19 tests a few days ago, after three weeks of convalescence. Huzzah! I'm still taking it easy, trying to make sure I stay on the good side of the hospital doors, and that I don't relapse or incur any of the possible repercussions of COVID post-recovery. All that to say that…

or: How To Build a Mental Framework for Spring Framework

EDIT: There's a great comment below that mentions that the original title, Structuring Spring Boot Applications, is a bit misleading, in that the blog doesn't intend to talk about how to organize types and packages, and instead thinks about how Spring interacts with the objects in your code. The next paragraph sought to clarify that point but apparently fell short. Anyway, I've changed it, which unfortunately will break earlier links to it. I'm sorry for both the poor title and the now two days of broken links. I hope it's useful for…

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to Microsoft's Rome Li (@akalirong) on his work supporting Microsoft Azure from IntelliJ, Visual Studio, Maven, Eclipse, and Visual Studio Code.

Hi, Spring fans! How're you doing? I'm alright. I've been recuperating from a COVID-19 infection. Today was the first day in a while that I woke up and wasn't short of breath. Most days, I've woken up, hacked a few wads of phlegm into the toilet, and then my breathing was fine. But today I woke up and wasn't short of breath in the first place. (I still hacked a few wads of phlegm). Thank goodness for vaccines, or I expect my experience of this virus would've been much worse as a lifelong asthmatic. Things are looking up!

And then, as if my fortunes couldn't get any better, I got to compiling this week's roundup and there's a ton of great…
