On behalf of the Spring and Apache Geode communities, I am pleased to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SBDG) 1.1.0.RC2.

SBDG 1.1.0.RC2 can be obtained from repo.spring.io/libs-miletone, or declared as a dependency in either your Maven POM or Gradle build files:

org.springframework.geode:spring-geode-starter:1.1.0.RC2.

What’s New

As with the previous release, 1.1.0.RC1, we continue our story on caching using Apache Geode as a caching provider in Spring’s Cache Abstraction for Near Caching.

This release contains a Sample Guide along with Code Example, a Spring Boot application, to help you better understand the Near Caching…

It is my pleasure to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire/Pivotal Cloud Cache (SBDG) 1.1.0.RC1.

This is the 1st of 2 release candidates before the final GA, tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, August 14th, 2019. Be on the lookout for the SBDG 1.1.0.RELEASE then.

You make acquire the new SBDG 1.1.0.RC1 bits from Spring’s libs-milestone repo here, or by declaring the following dependency declaration in your Maven POM:

On behalf of the Spring, Apache Geode and Pivotal communities, I am pleased to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire 1.1.0.M3.

What’s New

The main theme of this release was to add support for hybrid cloud deployments.

For instance, perhaps you want to push and run your Spring Boot, Apache Geode or Pivotal GemFire applications on Pivotal CloudFoundry (PCF), but connect those applications to an externally managed, standalone Apache Geode or Pivotal GemFire cluster. Now, SBDG allows you to do just that.

Technically, SBDG takes advantage of a feature in PCF called CUPS, or Create User-Provided Service. By defining your own service descriptor you can connect your Spring Boot applications to externally managed services, like databases, message queues and even In-Memory Data Grids & Caches like Apache Geode or Pivotal GemFire…

SBDG 1.0.1.RELEASE builds on:

• Spring Framework 5.0.14.RELEASE

• Spring Boot 2.0.9.RELEASE

• Spring Data Kay-SR14

• Spring Session for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire 2.0.9.RELEASE

Additionally, SBDG now supports the ability configure and bootstrap a Locator process, which disables the auto-configuration supplying a ClientCache instance, by default.

On behalf of the Spring and Apache Geode communities, it is my pleasure to announce the release of Spring Session for Apache Geode and Pivotal GemFire (SSDG) 2.1.4.RELEASE and 2.2.0.M2 releases.

Both SSDG 2.1.4.RELEASE and 2.2.0.M2 now support the ability to turn off client subscriptions. No longer does SSDG require client subscriptions to be enabled to use either Apache Geode or Pivotal GemFire to manage your HTTP Session state. However, if client subscriptions are not explicitly enabled, then the client will no longer receive notifications of Session events that may have originated from…

At long last, it is my distinct pleasure to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SBDG) 1.0.0.RELEASE!

The list of people to thank is long.

First, to Dr. Mark Pollack for your feedback real early on in the beginning of the project.

To Mr. Josh Long for sitting with me for 2 hours after midnight during S1P-2018 to give me feedback on using Apache Geode with Spring Boot.

To Mr. Phil Webb, and the entire Spring Boot ream, for providing guidance.

To the few community members who contributed PRs.

And finally, to everyone else for your support and patience while…

I am pleased to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SBDG) 1.0.0.RC2.

I would like to send a special shoutout to the Spring Boot team for providing invaluable feedback on this project. Indeed, without Spring Boot and the fine efforts of the Boot team, SBDG would not be possible. So, thank you Boot team!

After incorporating the feedback, I decided to postpone the final GA and introduce 1 more release candidate. Final 1.0 GA is (tentatively) scheduled for Monday, May 6th.

The bits (org.springframework.geode:spring-geode-starter:1.0.0.RC2) are available in the Spring libs-milestone…
