Plus, we're building a Java 21 program right here! We'll talk about how SSL support and improved observability in Spring Boot 3.2 can help you in production. We'll also look at the new Project Loom and Project CRaC support can help you go faster with…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's November 14th, and you know what that means? NINE MORE DAYS until Spring Boot 3.2 drops (on the day of the US holiday of Thanksgiving, no less)!

Some key features include:

Hi, Spring fans!

Can you believe we've already turned the calendar page to November? Time sure is a swift developer, deploying months as if they were minor versions in an ever-evolving application. As we adjust our clocks to fall back, waving a reluctant goodbye to daylight savings time, the encroaching evening arrives with a brisk efficiency. Yes, it's dark outside, a bit too early for my liking, if I'm honest. The shortened days remind us that while we may not be in control of the celestial clock, we do have the power to harness the hours we're given. This is the perfect time to settle in…

In Spring Boot 3.2.0, we're adding the ability for embedded web servers to hot-reload SSL certificates and keys. That means you can rotate your SSL trust material without restarting your application. Hot reloading is supported for Tomcat and Netty embedded web servers.

Let's see that in action!

First, we're going to create our SSL private key and matching certificate using OpenSSL:

mkdir certs
cd certs
openssl req -x509 -subj "/CN=demo-cert-1" -keyout demo.key -out demo.crt -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -newkey rsa 

This creates a private key stored in certs/demo.key and a matching (self-signed) certificate with the common name "demo-cert-1" in certs/demo.crt…
