Spring Cloud Gateway 4.0 is finally here! Thanks to our community contributions we have introduced new features and interesting filters.

This blog post details new noteworthy and explains some of the new filters included, how they work and how you can use it to provide more insights into your applications.

First of all, let's talk about cache! Cache is a complicated issue and that's why we have introduced two new filters related to it, but take into account that these filters can make the gateway memory constrained so use them carefully.

CacheRequestBody

Manipulating the request body can cause issues if not done properly, so we made it easy for you; with this filter we offer the possibility to cache the request body before it to the downstream and get that body from an exchange attribute. It will be available in the ServerWebExchange.getAttributes() under a key defined in ServerWebExchangeUtils.CACHED_REQUEST_BODY_ATTR…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I went to Helsinki, Finland, last week, and this week I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, to speak at the Atlanta Java User Group. And, of course, next week, I'll be in New York to join a viewing party for the airing of SpringOne Essentials. You're going to join us, I trust? It's going to be awesome!

Look, it's Tuesday. Tuesdays are no fun. We're three solid days away from fun winter ski slopes from Friday. But that's OK because every day is a chance to learn. And this week's no exception: we've got a ton to look at it, so let's…

New releases of Spring Boot are being released on a quite frequent schedule and updating your projects to newer versions of Spring Boot is something that many teams and organizations around the globe do as part of their daily work.

Sometimes those upgrades are simple and easy, for example for new patch releases that mostly include changes to fix bugs and address CVEs. In contrast to that, upgrading to a new minor or even a new major version requires more work, including code changes to adapt to new or changed APIs, updating configurations to not use deprecated keys anymore, and more.

Each new minor or major version of Spring therefore ships with a comprehensive guide and documentation about those changes and you can read and follow to upgrade your project. A good example of this is the new migration guide for upgrading your projects to Spring Boot 3…

Hi, Spring fans! As I write this I'm on a plane winging my way to Helsinki, Finland. A new year and new journeys begin. It's going to be cold there. Wish me luck! Do you know what always warms me up? The thrill of learning. And this week's no different. This week we've got some good stuff line up so let's get right into it!

Hi, Spring fans! Happy new year! It's 2023 already! Who saw that comin'? I sure didn't. This year promises to be more amazing than ever, and I can't wait to be a part of it.

As usual, the first week of January is when we mark the date of the first installment of this humble roundup, This Week in Spring, waaaay back in the first week of January 2011! 12 years of This Week in Spring! Now that's consistency!

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's 27 December as I write this and - being honest - I couldn't be happier. It's raining outside. I'm in a warm cozy office. Good music is playing. People are asleep in my home. I can hear the raindrops and wind outside the window. I'm at peace as I code. And code I have. I've been updating my blog, and a half dozen little side projects, to the new Spring Boot 3. This has given me a chance to do a little, shall we say, Spring cleaning, and also update my Github Actions to the latest and greatest. I'm pleasantly surprised…
