A year has passed and the Spring Data shipped two release train iterations packed with interesting features. This talk will give a broad overview of the most important introduced in the Fowler and Gosling release trains. We will cover recent additions and improvements in Spring Data Commons - the module that's shared amongst the store specific ones. We'll then delve into the latest and greatest features of individual store modules, like JPA, MongoDB and the community ones as well.

This webinar introduces you to a sample application that combines multiple microservices with a graph processing platform to rank communities of users on Twitter. The problem we’re going to solve is how to discover communities of influencers on Twitter using a set of seed profiles as inputs.

To solve this problem without a background in machine learning or social network analytics might be a bit of a stretch, but we’re going to take a stab at it using a little bit of computer science history. We’re going to use a collection of popular tools as a part of this article’s sample application. The tools we’ll use, in the order of importance, will be: Spring Boot Neo4j Apache Spark Docker RabbitMQ While there are some missing pieces, such as securing REST API access, and mapping device volumes to the containers, these kinds of important topics will be covered in future webinars.

Track: Web / Javascript track Speaker: Rob Winch Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/state-of-securing-restful-apis-with-spring The many benefits of a RESTful architecture has made it the standard way in which to design web based APIs. For example, the principles of REST state that we should leverage standard HTTP verbs which helps to keep our APIs simple. Server components that are considered RESTFul should be stateless which help to ensure that they can easily scale. We can leverage caching to gain further performance and scalability benefits.

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2015. Track: Big Data Speaker: Marius Bogoevici Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/stream-processing-at-scale-with-spring-xd-and-kafka In the recent years, drastic increases in data volume, as well as a greater demand for low latency have led to a radical shift in business requirements and application development methods. Near-realtime data processing has started to become more prevalent, and high-throughput messaging systems such as Apache Kafka have emerged as key building blocks. Focusing on developer experience and productivity, Spring XD makes it…

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2015. Track: Web / Javascript Track Speaker: Andy Wilkinson Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/documenting-restful-apis An API's documentation is a vital part of making it easy to understand and easy to use. RESTful APIs are no different. In this talk we'll look at what should be included in your RESTful API's documentation and, just as importantly, what should be omitted. Using real-word examples, both good and bad, we'll discuss how the documentation should be structured so that it's informative, succinct, and easy to read. Having identified what…

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2015. Track: Core Groovy Track Speaker: Fatima Casau Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/using-groovy-grails-in-your-spring-boot-project The emergence of Spring Boot has significantly improved the development of applications with Spring, allowing you to create applications faster by improving the configuration and removing repetitive tasks. Some of the dependencies that can be included are support for ‘Groovy’ and also the use of ‘GORM (Grails Object Relational Mapping)’ as well as ‘Hibernate’ for persistence. We will see where and how to use them in…

Kicking off 2016, here are my personal recommendations for European developer conferences with particularly strong Spring content in the first half of the year:

• Topconf Linz: Feb 1-3, featuring various Spring-related talks in the Cloud & Microservice Architectures track and a dedicated Spring Boot workshop ahead of the show. An English-language conference in my home-city which happens to be a tech hotspot in Austria...
• JAX Germany: Apr 19-21, with a well-established dedicated Spring track and several Spring-related talks across other conference tracks. Note: JAX is primarily a German-language conference, so the Spring talks there will be delivered in German as well.
• Spring I/O Barcelona: May 19-20, our new annual European Spring conference in its second iteration, at a perfect time for visiting the city of Barcelona! This will…

Do you need to build cloud-native microservices for distributed stream processing and data integration but don't know where to start? All you need is a single annotation in your code and a single dependency in your POM. The new Spring Cloud Stream project combines the power of Spring Boot, Spring Integration, and Spring Cloud to make that a reality.

In a nutshell, Spring Cloud Stream provides support for auto-configuration of…
