Hi Spring fans! In this installment we look at the many facets of Redis, the distributed data structure server. Spring supports Redis through the Spring Cache abstraction, Spring Session, the Spring message-listener container abstraction, and through the Spring Data Redis module.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Paris, France and I'll be in Mainz, Germany, next week for JAX and Linz, Austria for the DevOne event. If you're in any of these places then don't hesitate to reach out!

We've got so much to cover so let's get to it!

• Spring Cloud Task and Spring Batch lead Michael Minella just announced Spring Cloud Task 2.0.0.RC1
• Artem Bilan looks at what's new in the Spring Cloud GCP 1.0.0.M3 release.
• Spring Tool Suite lead Martin Lippert just announced Spring Tool Suite 3.9.4
• Spring Boot lead Phil Webb is cooking up a very interesting project to ensure code-formatting consistency for all Spring Boot projects. Interesting! (and still super early days yet..) Think of this as the Java and Spring Boot equivalent of gofmt.
• Spring Data ninja Mark Paluch just announced Spring Data Lovelace M2. This release ships with updates for all store modules that contain new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Notable changes include: MongoDB 3.6 support for Change Streams, $jsonSchema, and Client Sessions (in preparation for MongoDB Transactions); Apache Cassandra mapping improvements for Map and Tuple Types, along with newly introduced Lifecycle Callbacks; Upgrade to Apache Solr 7; Improved Connection Handling…

Hi Spring fans! This week I'm in Atlanta, Indianapolis and Cincinnati! I'll be speaking at the Atlanta, GA Spring Meetup on Tuesday the 10th where I'll be looking about all things new, bootiful and cloud-native including reactive programming, Spring Web Flux, Spring Cloud Finchley, Spring Cloud Function and Project Riff. Then it's off to Indianapolis where I'll be doing the same talk on Thursday the 12th.

What a crazy week it's been! There's so much to get to this week. I want to call out, first, that there are some CVEs out there and if you haven't already, you should be updating urgently…

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips we'll look at the reactive Cloud Foundry Java client. We'll see how to use it support applications that know how to deploy themselves into a cloud target.

It is my pleasure to announce that I have just joined the developer advocacy team at Pivotal, focusing on Spring.

Before joining Pivotal, I have had the pleasure of consulting with and learning from software development teams across a variety of domains. Whether the domain is e-commerce, pharma, fintech, or insurance—common to all domains in software are the expectations of users. In this post I'm going to introduce some of my…
