Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week is fixing to be a really fun one!
I'll be speaking at the Seattle JUG tonight. It's free, online, virtual, etc. Join us, won't you?
I'll also be speaking at the legendary Devnexus event this week. Do not miss that. Or the show. It's free, being held virtually, online, and a ton of us from the Spring team will be there.
We've got a lot of good stuff to get to this week so let's dive in!
My buddy, the amazing and inestimable, Tanzu observability engineer Tommy Ludwig, and I wrote a little blog, Metrics and Tracing: Better Together. It's chock full of Tommy's brilliance and my terrible terrible puns. Don't miss it!

You've decided to put your talents to work in the service of humanity and - in the age of the pandemic, and having no other real skills to speak of besides software - you're going to build a web service that people can check for the availability of the highly vaunted Playstation 5 video game console, on your new website, www.ps5ownersarebetterpeople.com.net.
It All Started so Auspiciously...
Go to the trusty Spring Initializr and generate a new project (called service) using the latest version of Java ( natch! ) and add the Reactive Web, Wavefront, Lombok, Sleuth, and Actuator dependencies to the project. Click the Generate button to download a .zip…

In this blog, we are taking a deeper look at writing a Spring Cloud Stream producer with Apache Kafka and how it handles native partitions in Kafka.
Spring Cloud Stream has a middleware agnostic concept of partitions. Whenever possible, Spring Cloud Stream leverages the native partitioning capabilities of the middleware if it has such capabilities as in the case of Apache Kafka. This blog looks at how a Spring Cloud Stream developer handles partitions when writing a producer application that publishes data to Kafka. In a subsequent article, we will look at how consumers handle partitions in a…

I think the first use I had for Spring, more than 15 years ago, was the JdbcTemplate, which eliminated the eye-watering and…
