Whether you are building a web API, mobile front end or a good-old fashioned desktop application, identity and access management will always be foundational pieces that are front and center in writing software. Azure offers a great platform to democratize your application development journey, as it not only offers a cloud-base identity service, but also deep integration with the rest of the Azure ecosystem. Spring Security has made it easy to secure your Spring based applications with powerful abstractions and extensible interfaces. However as powerful as the Spring framework can be, it is not…

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce that Spring Framework 5.3.3 is available now.

Welcome to another installment of You May Not Need Another Library For That (YMNNALFT)! I've spent a lot of time since 2016 illuminating (or trying to, anyway!) some of the more enormous opportunities in the Spring ecosystem in my Spring Tips videos. Today, however, I come to you in a different spirit, wanting to focus on the little, sometimes hidden, gems that do fantastic things and that might spare you an additional third-party dependency and its implied complexity.

Today we're going to look at an all-in-one, handy dandy HTTP client, the WebClient.

HTTP services are a common source of data…

Spring Data has migrated its entire history of issues from Jira to GitHub. The goal of this blog post is to give you context and details about this migration.

Migration Details

Spring Data issues have been managed for over ten years in Jira. Today, every issue and every comment has been imported into GitHub. There is a lot to consider in such a move, so let's take a tour and go over some details.

Spring Data consists of 19 individual projects, each one of which is associated with its own issue tracker namespace. Four projects (Spring Data Build, BOM, Envers, and R2DBC) have been using GitHub…

And it's a good thing we're covering some of these complexity-reducing gems, too, you see, because the world is a confusing…

Hi, Spring fans! Happy new year! And welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! Today is a significant installment because it marks a decade of This Week in Spring!

I started this roundup after a fun discussion with the legendarily nice guy and SpringSource co-founder Keith Donald in late 2010 over the holiday. Lo, the first week of January 2011, the first edition of this roundup went out the door on the old SpringSource.org blog.

It's been so much fun putting together this roundup, without fail, every Tuesday for the last decade. You wouldn't believe the lengths to which I went to get this out on Tuesday, well, my Tuesday, no matter where I was. I'd be on planes all the time and the original blog software on SpringSource.org didn't support scheduling posts, so I'd either publish it a little early or - if I was going to be on a plane for the entirety of the useful day - I'd have my then manager Adam Fitzgerald post it for me. He reviewed the content for the first few years of the blog, too…
