This article is part of a blog series that explores the newly redesigned Spring Cloud Stream applications based on Java Functions. In this episode, we are taking a deeper look into the file supplier and its Spring Cloud Stream file source counterpart. We will also see a MongoDB consumer and its corresponding Spring Cloud Stream sink. Finally, we will demonstrate how the File source and the MongoDB sink can be orchestrated together on Spring Cloud Data Flow as a pipeline.

Here are all the previous parts of this blog series.

• Function Composition with Streaming Applications

• How to Build a Supplier and Source Application

• How to Build a Consumer and Sink Application

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's been an insane week since we last spoke and things are only going to get nuttier between now and then! I've been heads down in my preparations for my SpringOne talks - one on Azure with Julien Dubois (@JulienDubois) and another on incorporating asynchronicity with Mario Gray (@MarioGray). I've been heads down working on my book Reactive Spring.

A few upcoming events worth noting:

• I'll be streaming on Twitch tomorrow (Wednesday), noon, PST. Follow me on Twitter @starbuxman for the link.
• I'll be presenting at the September edition of the Denver JUG to introduce RSocket. RSVP.
