Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in San Francisco in studio with Spring Security lead Rob Winch filming our new Spring Security Livelessons video. There is so much to cover that, as you can imagine, it's a tall order even for the two of us!

I'm also busily preparing for my talk with my buddy and Googler Ray Tsang at this week's Google Cloud NEXT event on all things Pivotal and Google Cloud. We're going to look at the bootiful Spring Cloud GCP project and, importantly, the new project jointly announced between Google and Pivotal just this morning, KNative, which serves as the platform on which we at Pivotal have built and deployed our Project Riff serverless function-as-a-service runtime.

Spring Social End of Life Announcement

Engineering | Craig Walls | July 03, 2018 | ...

Today it is with an optimistic look to the future that I am announcing the end of life for Spring Social, a project that I have had the pleasure to work with over the past eight years.

With the release of Spring Security 5, much of the functionality offered by Spring Social’s connection framework—which I consider the most valuable piece of Spring Social—is now part of Spring Security. In fact, I shared how to use Spring Security’s new support for client-side OAuth2 in a blog article from back in March. And as Spring Security continues to evolve its client-side OAuth support, Spring Social’s…

In less than two days I'll be home for the first time in almost a month to celebrate the 4th of July. If you're in America, let me be the first to wish you a happy holiday. As usual, we've…

Hands on MongoDB 4.0 transactions with Spring Data

Engineering | Christoph Strobl | June 28, 2018 | ...

With MongoDB 4.0, ACID transactions have arrived in the Document store, enforcing all-or-nothing execution and maintaining data integrity. So, let’s get straight to it by looking at both the synchronous and the reactive execution models.

At the time of this writing, MongoDB multi-document transactions are supported across a single replica set and feel like the transactions you are probably familiar with from relational databases. Looking at the driver API, one feels immediately at home:

try (ClientSession session = client.startSession()) {

    session.startTransaction();

    try…
