Hi Spring fans and welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This last week's been fun! Since we last spoke, I have been in Amsterdam (customers), London (SpringOne Tour London); Paris, Fr (JHipster Conf); Krakow, Pl (Devoxx PL); and now Sao Paulo, Br (Spring Connect SP). It's been a wild ride and it's nice to conclude the journey here in Brazil with one of the largest Java communities on earth.

And, as a cherry on top, there is a ton of great stuff to look at in this week's roundup so let's get to it!

• Spring Data Geode / Gemfire lead John Blum has just announced the Spring Boot integration for Apache Geode and Pivotal Gemfire 1.0.0.M1. It supports look-aside caching using Spring’s Cache Abstraction, system of record (SOR) using Spring Data Repositories and Spring transaction management, distributed compute using function implementation & executions, event stream processing (ESP) using continuous query, domain object versioning/serialization using PDX, Security, authentication / authorization, and TLS using SSL.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another wonderful and wild This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Amsterdam, NL (visiting customers); London, UK (for both the London Java Community Java User Group talk and the SpringOne Tour event); Paris, FR (for the first JHipster Conf); Krakow, PL (for Devoxx Poland) and then it's off to Sao Paolo, BR (for the Spring Connect show). If you're in any of those places, say hi!

• Spring Cloud Finchley.RELEASE is available. This is the big one! It's finally here! The final piece of the reactive puzzle. This release culminates an almost year long journey from Spring…

The new Spring Cloud Finchley GA release is jam-packed with good stuff and represents a major milestone in the journey to reactive microservices. I couldn't possibly list everything so I refer you to the fresh-from-the-oven release announcement by Spencer Gibb. Instead, in this post, I want to focus on the road we have taken to reactive Spring Cloud.

We released Spring Framework 5 in September 2017. This was the first release to introduce new Reactive programming support to help build more robust, scalable services. It builds upon the Pivotal Reactor project, our reactive streams compatible reactive runtime. Spring Framework 5 also includes a ton of new features, and I won't try to list them all, either, choosing instead to focus on reactive support here. What is reactive programming? Why does it matter…

Hi Spring fans! We're at the end of another season of Spring Tips. I'll be back in a few months with even more Spring Tips, and we'll continue our journey through aspects of the ecosystem large and small. This season, as with all seasons, has been fun for me to put together. It is a mix of brand new stuff and older stuff that we get to review in a new light. As always, I do these for you and am always eager to hear about what regions of Springdom you'd like illuminated.

Anyway, here's a recap of the things we've looked at in previous installments from seasons 1-4. Enjoy!

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips we look at the Spring support for the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. Spring's support for JDBC is one of many reasons a lot of people first started using Spring 15+ years ago!
