Update: this blog post has been updated for changes released in Spring Boot 2.3.0.RC1

The Spring Boot team is actively working on a Kubernetes theme for the next 2.3.0 release. After Docker images creation and Graceful Shutdown support, it’s now time to introduce Liveness and Readiness probes support.

With our 2.2.0 release, Spring Boot shipped with the Health Groups support, allowing developers to select a subset of health indicators and group them under a single, correlated, health status.

Even with this new feature, we’ve found that we could provide more to the Spring community, with more…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of Spring Tips! In this installment, we're going to look at a new feature in Spring Cloud, Spring Cloud Loadbalancer. Spring Cloud Loadbalancer is a generic abstraction that can do the work that we used to do with Netflix's Ribbon project. Spring Cloud still supports Netflix Ribbon, but Netflix Ribbons days are numbered, like so much else of the Netflix microservices stack, so we've provided an abstraction to support an alternative.

The Service Registry

For us to use the Spring Cloud Load Balancer, we need to have a service registry up and running. A service registry makes it trivial to programmatically query for the location of a given service in a system. There are several popular implementations, including Apache Zookeeper, Netflix's Eureka, Hashicorp Consul, and others. You can even use Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry as service registries. Spring Cloud provides an abstraction, DiscoveryClient…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's a beautiful Tuesday for any number of reasons. I presented in the DevDotNext digital edition show just a few hours ago - that was a lot of fun and I highly recommend you consider attending the next editions (online or - assuming we get past this pandemic - online).

Today is also the 16th birthday of Spring Framework 1.0 - released this day in 2004! What a journey! And of course, the person who announced that that version, the amazing Thomas Risberg (@trisberg), is one of many people who were there then and are still here on the Spring team now. Spring's come a long way since then! Check out the blog itself. If you want to see the original blog in all of its early-2000s glory, it's here on the Internet Wayback machine…

Time: about 15 minutes.

Previously in this series, you experimented with request-response and fire-and-forget messaging in Spring Boot with RSocket. This time you'll try another of RSocket's fresh new messaging models — request-stream.

In this exercise, you'll learn how to stream data using the conventional 'client-requests-a-server-stream' approach.

One thing that I haven't mentioned until now is that RSocket lets you use its messaging models in either direction. Therefore, if you wanted to use the less common 'server-requests-a-client-stream' model, that's no problem for RSocket. Plus, there are lots of non-java RSocket implementations to choose from, including Go, Javascript, and .Net—ideal if your architecture includes…

On behalf of the Spring, Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire communities, it is my pleasure to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SBDG) 1.3.0.M3. This release builds on Spring Boot 2.3.0.M3 and is available in the Spring Milestone Repository.

You can also create a new Spring for Apache Geode project with the 1.3.0.M3 bits using Spring Initializer at start.spring.io.

What’s New

SBDG 1.3.0.M3 builds on Spring Boot 2.3.0.M3, which pulls in Spring Framework 5.2.4.RELEASE, Spring Data Neumann-M4, Spring Session Dragonfruit-M2 with Spring Session for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SSDG) 2.3.0.RC1 specifically, and Spring Test for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (STDG) 0.0.13.RELEASE…

Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the 4.6.0 release of the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Theia.

Highlights from this release include:

• (Spring Boot) performance: improved performance while scanning projects for symbols
• (Spring Boot) performance: improved performance when multiple files change at once (e.g. after a switch to a different branch or a git pull + refresh)
• (Eclipse) bugfix: source lookup for Spring Boot launch configs works again
• (Eclipse) documentation: There is a new section in the user documentation that focuses on migrating an existing workspace from Spring Tool Suite 3 to Spring Tools 4: https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/wiki/STS3-Migration
