Greetings Spring Community!

It is my pleasure to announce the first milestone release of both Spring Session Data Geode for Apache Geode and Spring Session Session Data GemFire for Pivotal GemFire.

Both artifacts can be downloaded from Spring’s libs-milestone Repository using Maven …

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.session</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-session-data-geode</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0.M1</version>
  </dependency>

Or with Gradle…

  compile 'org.springframework.session:spring-session-data-geode:2.0.0.M1'

To use Spring Session with Pivotal GemFire, just switch the artifact from spring-session-data-geode to spring-session-data-gemfire…

Introducing Spring Cloud Function

Engineering | Mark Fisher | July 05, 2017 | ...

Spring Cloud Function is a new project with the following high-level goals:

Promote the implementation of business logic via functions.
Decouple the development lifecycle of business logic from any specific runtime target so that the same code can run as a web endpoint, a stream processor, or a task.
Support a uniform programming model across serverless providers, as well as the ability to run standalone (locally or in a PaaS).
Enable Spring Boot features (auto-configuration, dependency injection, metrics) on serverless providers.

Just as Spring has always promoted a plain old java object (POJO) based programming model, Spring Cloud Function promotes a programming model based on plain old functions. By that we mean the core interfaces defined in the java.util.function package: Function, Consumer, and Supplier…
