Hi Spring fans! In this installment we look at the many facets of Redis, the distributed data structure server. Spring supports Redis through the Spring Cache abstraction, Spring Session, the Spring message-listener container abstraction, and through the Spring Data Redis module.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Paris, France and I'll be in Mainz, Germany, next week for JAX and Linz, Austria for the DevOne event. If you're in any of these places then don't hesitate to reach out!

We've got so much to cover so let's get to it!

• Spring Cloud Task and Spring Batch lead Michael Minella just announced Spring Cloud Task 2.0.0.RC1
• Artem Bilan looks at what's new in the Spring Cloud GCP 1.0.0.M3 release.
• Spring Tool Suite lead Martin Lippert just announced Spring Tool Suite 3.9.4
• Spring Boot lead Phil Webb is cooking up a very interesting project to ensure code-formatting consistency for all Spring Boot projects. Interesting! (and still super early days yet..) Think of this as the Java and Spring Boot equivalent of gofmt.
• Spring Data ninja Mark Paluch just announced Spring Data Lovelace M2. This release ships with updates for all store modules that contain new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Notable changes include: MongoDB 3.6 support for Change Streams, $jsonSchema, and Client Sessions (in preparation for MongoDB Transactions); Apache Cassandra mapping improvements for Map and Tuple Types, along with newly introduced Lifecycle Callbacks; Upgrade to Apache Solr 7; Improved Connection Handling…

Compatibility with Spring Cloud Stream 2.0

Spring Cloud Stream 2.0 was released a few days ago and provides a collection of impressive enhancements. Spring Cloud Task is updated and supports Spring Cloud Stream 2.0

Multiple DataSource Sample

A common point of confusion for Spring Cloud Task is how to configure a task application when using multiple DataSource beans. In this release, we provided a sample that demonstrates how that should work. You can find that sample here…

Dear Spring Community!
