The task of securing RSocket applications is greatly simplified when you use Spring Security. Spring Security is a must-have module for any production application. It allows you to easily plugin many different authentication providers and restricts each user's access to your application based on their identity and…

Spring Tips: Spring and GraalVM (pt. 2)

GraalVM also offers a separate feature supporting native image compilation. This native-image builder takes bytecode and turns it into an architecture-specific binary that sheds the JVM and embeds something called SubstrateVM. Native images are fast to startup and they take way
