Getting started with Spring Cloud can be daunting. If you have seen the great Josh Long give his Cloud Native Java presentation, you will notice that you need to create several supporting applications before you can see your application at work.

Spring Cloud CLI Launcher

As part of the transition from Spring XD to Spring Cloud Dataflow, one of the extracted projects is called the Spring Cloud Deployer. The Deployer allows for launching applications on various platforms, including launching on a developer machine.

We wanted to simplify users' ability to experiment with Spring Cloud, so the spring cloud command…

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll quickly look at the Kotlin programming language and some very high-level things you need to know when building Spring Boot and Kotlin applications

On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce the release of the second milestone of Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.1. You can download the local server that is part of this release here.

The 1.1 M2 release includes the following new features and improvements:

• Builds upon Boot 1.4.1 and Spring Cloud Camden improvements

• Task application properties can now be referenced using non-prefixed property names

• Add visual representation for related streams. This representation also includes nested TAPs and the downstream processing nodes in an overall topology view.

• The UI adds bulk import support for Task definitions. This allows importing task definitions from a file or the ability to add multiple task-definitions using the Flo-editor

• The flo-editor embeds CodeMirror for incremental DSL syntax validation and error reporting. There’s also a toggle on/off button to enable and disable incremental validations.

• Adds a form-based login page for non-OAUTH backend authentication methods such as the LDAP, Basic and File-based options.

• Adds the ability to pass application specific properties via YAML file. This is particularly useful when deploying streams with that set many deployment properties.
