Hi, Spring fans! In this installment Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to returning guest RedHat's Kate Stanley (@KateStanley91) on the distinction between traditional brokers and Apache Kafka.

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Spring Boot 3.0.0-M1 has been released and is now available from https://repo.spring.io/milestone.

This milestone starts our exciting journey to the next generation of the Spring Framework and raises our baseline from Java 8 to Java 17. We are planning to release a new milestone of Spring Boot 3.0 every two months. M2 should arrive on March 24 and we are planning on a GA release in late November.

If you are trying an existing application with Spring Boot 3.0 you'll need to be aware that we've migrated all Java EE APIs to their equivalent Jakarta EE variant. For most users, this means you'll need to replace any javax imports with jakarta. For example, javax.servlet.Filter would be replaced with jakarta.servlet.Filter…

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce that Spring for GraphQL 1.0.0-M5 is now available from https://repo.spring.io/milestone.

The M5 release is a quick follow-on after the feature-rich M4 release from December. The main goal for M5 was to move the Boot starter out of the Spring GraphQL repository and into Spring Boot proper, ahead of the first Spring Boot 2.7 milestone this Thursday. In addition to that, as always, there was plenty of feedback leading to a number of refinements and fixes.

Spring Boot GraphQL Starter

The GraphQL starter has moved out of the Spring for GraphQL project repository and into the Spring Boot repository, from where it will be made available in the upcoming 2.7.0-M1 release. Here is the GraphQL section…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another jam-packed, fun-filled, rock'em sock'em installment of This Week in Spring! It's the 18th of January and I'm feelin' great because I just got back from a three-day weekend.

Dr. King is another one of my favorite doctors, along with Drs. Syer, Strange, Who, Subramaniam, and Pollack.
