Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How are you?

I'm doing well, as always. I literally just wrapped up presenting a fun session at the Russian Joker conference all about Spring and GraphQL. I got a ton of great questions from an enthusiastic audience. Thanks so much for joining me, everyone. I've got to get to other meetings, though, so let's get this wonderful week in Spring out of the way!
