Back in 2016, our reactive journey started with Spring Framework 5 accompanied by a couple of reactive integrations. Throughout our journey, other projects joined the reactive movement. With R2DBC, we now also provide a reactive integration for SQL databases. With the growth of transaction-capable integrations, we constantly got asked:

Does Spring Framework support Reactive @Transaction?

At the time our journey began, we had no reactive form of transactional integrations, so this question was simple to answer: There’s no need for reactive transaction management.

Over time, MongoDB started to support multi-document transactions with MongoDB Server 4.0.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of Spring Tips (@SpringTipsLive)! In this installment we look at the just-landed community contribution in Spring Batch adding support for Apache Kafka. This new support offers some tantalizing opportunities to bridge batch and streaming workloads. Stage large writes to backend warehouses with Kafka and drain the stream with Spring Batch. Load large amounts of data from existing datastores and funnel it into stream processing pipelines. And the possibilities become even more interesting when you consider Spring Integration, Spring Cloud Stream, …

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I'm in beautiful Krakow for the epic Geecon show and then I'm off to spectacular Barcelona, Spain for the Spring I/O show.

I'm so excited!), and then right after that, it's off to Barcelona…

Hi Spring fans! In today's installment Josh Long (@starbuxman) sits down with Jetbrain's Roman Elizarov (@relizarov). Roman works on the Kotlin team and, among other things, focuses on asynchronous programming with things like coroutines. This interview was a very detailed dive into the opportunities for asynchronous programming for Spring developers using Kotlin, especially in light of the new coroutine support coming in Spring Framework 5.2.
