• Introduction to Spring Boot

• Introduction to Spring Data

• Removal of outdated technologies

• Removal of redundant samples

This was a hard-won task that took me several weeks, but based on the incredible persistence of SOAP, it was something that had to be done to serve the Spring community.

In this blog, we continue the series, showing how these functions are developed, tested, and used to generate Spring Cloud Stream applications. In particular, here we are focusing on how to write a supplier function (implementing java.util.function.Supplier…
