On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce the sixth and last milestone for the next Spring Data generation. This milestone continues delivering new features, refinements, and dependency upgrades.

Removed MongoDB UUID and BigDecimal Defaults

Spring Data MongoDB now aligns with the MongoDB Java Driver and no longer defaults to a representation for UUID values. Instead, you need to explicitly configure the desired representation through driver settings.

We're also no longer providing a default configuration value for BigInteger and resort the default for BigDecimal to Decimal128 in accordance with MongoDB's default codecs. This is a much safer approach that prevents you your application from accidentally switching representations when upgrading to the new major version. Please make sure to configure formats for big numbers through MongoCustomConversions…

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, we talk to the general manager of Tanzu, the legendary Purnima Padmanabhan, about AI, the power of the platform, and more. Recorded live from SpringOne 2025!

Spring Authorization Server has come a long way since 1.0 was officially released in November 2022. Starting as a project separate from Spring Security, has allowed it to iterate quickly on feature development and ultimately grow a rich feature set for building OAuth2 Authorization Servers.

It has reached that point of maturity and stability and we believe the time is now to move it to Spring Security 7.0.

The main benefit this will provide our users is a streamlined developer experience. Whether you are working with OAuth2 Client or OAuth2 Authorization Server, you won’t need to switch…

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Spring gRPC 0.11.0 has been released and is now available from Maven Central. We are still planning to have a 1.0.0 release around the same time as Spring Boot 4.0.0.

The main changes in this release are bug fixes for 0.10.0. There is a small API change in the custom security adapter that extracts authentication data from an incoming request on the server. All users should upgrade as soon as possible.

This is the first blog post in the Road to GA series, highlighting major features within the Spring portfolio for the next major versions to be released in November of this year.

Today we are proud to announce the new resilience features coming in Spring Framework 7.0: concurrency throttling and retry support.

Concurrency Throttling

For certain tasks and resources it may be desirable to limit the level of concurrency. Concurrency throttling effectively protects the target resource from being accessed from too many threads at the same time, similar to the effect of a pool size limit for a…
