• Eleftheria Stein-Kousathana's page on the Spring team roster
• Ria just published a post on the Spring Security lambda DSL on which she worked. Definitely worth a read!

Overview of Lambda DSL

The release of Spring Security 5.2 includes enhancements to the DSL, which allow HTTP security to be configured using lambdas.

It is important to note that the prior configuration style is still valid and supported. The addition of lambdas is intended to provide more flexibility, but their usage is optional.

We provided motivation and justification for moving away from the annotation-based programming model to the functional model, and then we provided more details on the functional approach, as well as reactive functions. In another post, which is relevant to what we're going to be discussing here, Artem demonstrated the benefits of combining functional approaches with the …
