Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips, we look at how to test reactive applications and microservices with TDD style, inside-out testing from component to contract.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! First of all, Happy Lunar New Year, if you celebrate! (More than a billion people around the world do celebrate...)

Today I'm going to be giving a 4-hour presentation, Reactive Spring, for Safari members.

So, without further ado, let's get to it!

• Spring Session for Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire 2.0.8.RELEASE available!
• Last week in A Bootiful Podcast, I interviewed Spring messaging and integration maestro, and one of my oldest friends on the Spring team, Oleg Zhurakousky.
• Hi Spring fans! In last week's installment of Spring Tips, The Reactor Context, I look at how you can perpetuate state across thread execution jumps.
• If you're using older versions of Cloud Foundry then you might be using a vulnerable version of Java
• I really liked this response from Kenny Bastani on eventual consistency
• This is an interesting post on using …

Hi Spring fans! In this installment we talk to Oleg Zhurakousky, lead of the Spring Cloud Stream project, an application integration and messaging wonk, and a prolific contributor to Spring Integration. Oleg also has the dubious honor of being one of my oldest friends on the Spring team - poor guy!

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips we answer the question, "how do I propagate state across asynchronous, reactive execution pipelines?"

Hi Spring fans! Can you believe we're already staring down February?? I'm still shaking off the vacation feels from the holiday break. I'm at the airport, SFO, a few minutes after midnite in PST, waiting to board for my flight to Houston, a connection en route to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the epic SpringOne Tour event - the first of a brand new year! I look forward to seeing y'all there!

Anyway, we've got tons to get to so let's!

• Spring Tools 4.1.1 released - this new release is packed with tons of features, don't miss it!
• LISTEN: in this latest installment of my podcast, A Bootiful Podcast, I interview Spring Boot legend Madhura Bhave. Don't miss it!
• WATCH: In last week's installment of Spring Tips I look at hedging client requests with the reactive WebClient and a service registry as supported by Spring Cloud's DiscoveryClient abstraction.
• Spring IO Platform Cairo-SR7
• Spring IO Platform Brussels-SR16
• Spring Cloud Greenwich.RELEASE is now available
• …

In this installment of the pod we talk to Madhura Bhave, an engineer on the Spring Boot team who has improved the project in big ways - working on things like security, actuator, OAuth and more - since she moved from her epic run on the Cloud Foundry and UAA teams. We recorded this interview in August of 2018.

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips we look at how to use the reactive WebFlux client to make a number of concurrent requests to distinct service instances (discovered using a service registry like Netflix Eureka or Consul through the Spring Cloud DiscoveryClient abstraction) and meet SLAs by using the fastest request to return.
