Back in July the Spring team asked for your input on a range of Spring-related topics. And wow! What a response!

Thank you to the 1024 developers, architects, and managers across the globe that took time out of their day to complete the survey. We’ve crunched the numbers, filtered & mashed up the results to distill the most compelling insights into the State of Spring 2020 report.

Thanks to everyone that completed the survey. We look forward to making this report an annual event, following the growth, success, and evolution of our community.

As always, we look forward to hearing your feedback!
