Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How are you?

I'm doing well, as always. I literally just wrapped up presenting a fun session at the Russian Joker conference all about Spring and GraphQL. I got a ton of great questions from an enthusiastic audience. Thanks so much for joining me, everyone. I've got to get to other meetings, though, so let's get this wonderful week in Spring out of the way!

Today, we are excited to announce the integration of AppDynamics in the Azure Spring Cloud for full stack observability.

Over the past 20 months, we worked with many enterprise customers to learn about the scenarios they face.

In addition, they must ensure continuity for desktop and mobile…

Hi, Spring fans! In this installment, we'll look at fully refreshable configuration using the Spring Cloud Config Server, Spring Cloud Bus, and Spring Cloud Config Monitor.

Thanks so much Alexis for sharing and teaching us so much!
