Introducing the new feature on start.spring.io: Explore the project. With this, you can now take a peek at the generated project files without having to actually download it, unzip it, etc.

A lot of developers requested this feature, because they'd like to compare with another project, or upgrade an existing application. We'd like to explore those possibilities more in the future, so send your feedback our way!

On behalf of the community, I am pleased to announce that Milestone 1 (M1) of the Spring Cloud Hoxton Release Train is available today. The release can be found in Spring Milestone repository. You can check out the Hoxton release notes for more information.

On behalf of the Spring, Apache Geode and Pivotal communities, I am pleased to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire 1.1.0.M3.

What’s New

The main theme of this release was to add support for hybrid cloud deployments.

For instance, perhaps you want to push and run your Spring Boot, Apache Geode or Pivotal GemFire applications on Pivotal CloudFoundry (PCF), but connect those applications to an externally managed, standalone Apache Geode or Pivotal GemFire cluster. Now, SBDG allows you to do just that.

Technically, SBDG takes advantage of a feature in PCF called CUPS, or Create User-Provided Service. By defining your own service descriptor you can connect your Spring Boot applications to externally managed services, like databases, message queues and even In-Memory Data Grids & Caches like Apache Geode or Pivotal GemFire…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm sunny summer-time San Francisco indulging in a little downtime. Last week was a doozy! I visited Tampa, Flordia; Paris, France; and finally Santiago, Dominican Republic. Later this week, after the 4th of July holiday here in the States, I'll head on over to Medellin, Columbia for JConf Columbia; Chicago, Illinois for the epic SpringOne Tour Chicago event; and then Lima, Peru for the JConf Peru event.

I'm so looking forward to a few weeks of fun talking to amazing developers around the globe. If you're around, as usual, don't hesitate to reach out to me on @starbuxman…

It's rare for a company to want every API to be publicly accessible. Most prefer to keep their services secret by default, only exposing APIs publicly when absolutely necessary.

Spring Cloud Gateway can help. Spring Cloud Gateway allows you to route traffic to your APIs using simple Java™ instructions (which we saw in the last article) or with YAML configuration files (which we’ll demonstrate in this one). To hide your services, you set up your network so that the only server accessible from the outside is…
