On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce that the Spring Cloud Brixton Release Train has reached General Availability. The release is available today and can be found in our Spring Release repository and Maven Central.

We would like to thank many community contributors and testers for their help. There have been many pull requests, issues and conversations that have made Spring Cloud Brixton better.

Highlights

• Netflix Atlas Telemetry System, the next generation Spectator Metrics library…
