Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's the first week of December and I am in the amazing city of Perth, Australia. Perth, for those of you who don't know, is amazing. And well worth the journey. But it is quite the journey! 27 hours, door-to-door, from San Francisco to Perth! Insanity.

I'm super happy to be here, though, talking to amazing folks before I begin my journey from Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, Australia for the epic YOW! conference. It's going to be a ton of fun.

• I love this InfoQ interview with Spring Framework lead Jürgen Hoeller and Spring Framework contributor Sébastien Deleuze
• I also love this article on reactive websockets with Spring
• Extending Spring Data repositories just got easier!
• Huh. Apparently the old SpringSource repositories just got sunsetted. I had no idea we still maintained them.
• In this week's installment of A Bootiful Podcast, I talk to Dave Cramer, PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL JDBC driver contributor extraordinairre
• Spring Cloud 2023.0.4 is now available
• Spring Cloud Stream Applications is now available
• HTTP3 in Reactor!
…

Dear Spring Community,

This post serves to announce the sunset of two legacy public repositories dating all the way back to SpringSource and early VMware days. Both have been well out of support for over a decade now.

repository.springsource.com and spring-roo-repository.springsource.org will be closed permanently on January 6, 2025 and removed from DNS, as we retire these domains.

If you still need something from either then you should grab it while you can, and maybe reflect on why.

Hi, Spring fans! Happy Thanksgiving to my American listeners! and happy Thursday to the everyone! In today's episode I talk to PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL JDBC contributor Dave Cramer. #postgresql #jdbc #sql #java

HTTP/3, the latest major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, had its specification finalized in June 2022. This version is designed to enhance performance, reliability, and security. Unlike its predecessors, HTTP/3 utilizes QUIC instead of TCP as its transport layer. QUIC is a UDP-based, multiplexed, and secure transport protocol that includes built-in TLS 1.3 encryption, making QUIC encrypted by default.

To learn more about the performance and benefits of HTTP/3, check out What is HTTP/3.

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring!

Happy Spring Boot 3.4 release month to those who celebrate! And, also, Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Spring Boot 3.4 brings with it long-anticipated updates to the entire portfolio of Spring projects, and so a lot of the content in this roundup has to do with those releases!

• Reactor legend Violeta Georgieva has a nice post introducing HTTP/3 support in Reactor 2024.0

So I wrote them all down and published them as a series of blogs looking at Spring Framework, Spring Data, Spring Batch, Spring Integration, Spring Security, Spring Modulith, and Spring AI. Here's the starting blog post, which serves as a sort of index for all the other posts.
  • And here's the post on Spring Framework

Hi, Spring fans! And happy Spring Boot 3.4 release to those who celebrate!

I know, I know what you're thinking: Josh, Spring Boot 3.4 already shipped! I know it. Spring Boot 3.4 dropped a week earlier this year! In the last couple of years, we’ve released Spring Boot on the same day as Thanksgiving Day in the USA, which is tedious for us here in the United States because it requires more preparation. This year, it’s a week early! Why do I mention this? Well, I’ve had some time already - before Thanksgiving, even - to explore the fantastic possibilities unlocked by using Spring Boot 3.4. While…
