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 pattern applied and its concepts.

This completes our coverage of the predominant caching patterns applied to modern, Cloud-Native, Microservices architectures and applications in practice today:

• Look-Aside Caching

• Inline Caching

• Near Caching

What’s Next

SBDG 1.1.0.RELEASE (final GA), tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, August 21st. See the Spring Release Calendar for schedule updates.

We will include 1 more Sample Guide and Code Example to cover HTTP Session state caching using Spring Session, and specifically, Spring Session for Apache Geode.

(HTTP) Session state caching is 1 of the most popular applications of caching in a Spring Boot, Microservices-based application, particularly in a Cloud environment where high availability and resiliency to failure are critically important.

Feedback

As always, any feedback is welcomed and highly appreciated!
