This Week in Spring - November 26th, 2024

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!

• Starting with an interview with Spring Framework lead Juergen Hoeller and Spring Framework contributor Sébastien Deleuze over on InfoQ
• Reactor legend Violeta Georgieva has a nice post introducing HTTP/3 support in Reactor 2024.0
• I have thoughts on all the amazing new opportunities in Spring Boot 3.4! Like, 50 pages or so worth. 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
  • And here's the post on Spring Data
  • And here's the post on Spring Batch
  • And here's the post on Spring Integration
  • And here's the post on Spring Security
  • And here's the post on Spring Modulith

• If you want an even better look at Spring Modulith, look no further than this blog from Spring Modulith lead Oliver Drotbohm
• Here's the post announcing that Spring Modulith 1.3 was released
• In last week’s installment of A Bootiful Podcast, I talked to Heroku's Terence Lee
• InfoQ's Michael Redlich does a nice job looking at all that's new and novel in the Spring ecosystem in this post, too
• While it won't get as much fanfare as Spring Boot 3.4, it's nice to know that Spring Boot 2.7.23, 3.0.18, and 3.1.14 are available now
• Did I mention that Spring Boot 3.4 is here? 'Cause if not, here's the blog post announcing it!

• By the way, have you checked out Thomas Vitale's awesome directory of examples for Spring AI
• I love this article on real-time notifications with server-sent events and Spring!
• Wim Deblauwe has a nice post on sending redirect attributes with Spring MVC and HTMX
• The Trifork blog has a nice discussion on tuning observability metrics in Spring Boot
• This resource is an awesome compendium of other resources related to event-driven architecture, also worth a read

A ton of resources to keep you company after the turkey's started to kick in!

I am sure I speak for the entire Spring team when I say: we are thankful for you, dear reader!

Happy Thanksgiving!
