Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm fresh of the amazing Spring Connect São Paulo event and speaking with some customers, and now I'm in beautiful Rio de Janeiro soaking up the winter rays by he beach, connecting with people in the community, and delivering a (virtual!) 2 day live training course for O'Reilly on building cloud-native Java-based applications. In less than two days I'll be home for the first time in almost a month to celebrate the 4th of July. If you're in America, let me be the first to wish you a happy holiday. As usual, we've…

With MongoDB 4.0, ACID transactions have arrived in the Document store, enforcing all-or-nothing execution and maintaining data integrity. So, let’s get straight to it by looking at both the synchronous and the reactive execution models.

At the time of this writing, MongoDB multi-document transactions are supported across a single replica set and feel like the transactions you are probably familiar with from relational databases. Looking at the driver API, one feels immediately at home:

try (ClientSession session = client.startSession()) {

    session.startTransaction();

    try…

Hi Spring fans and welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This last week's been fun! Since we last spoke, I have been in Amsterdam (customers), London (SpringOne Tour London); Paris, Fr (JHipster Conf); Krakow, Pl (Devoxx PL); and now Sao Paulo, Br (Spring Connect SP). It's been a wild ride and it's nice to conclude the journey here in Brazil with one of the largest Java communities on earth.

And, as a cherry on top, there is a ton of great stuff to look at in this week's roundup so let's get to it!

Greetings Spring & Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire communities-

I am happy to announce the first milestone release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire, version 1.0.0.M1.

This is a great new project building on the work started in Spring Data for Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire nearly 2 years ago, when we introduced annotation-based configuration.

With Spring Boot’s "convention over configuration" approach using auto-configuration, this project takes configuration and development of Spring Boot, Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire applications to the next level, whether building and running applications in a stand-alone or a managed environment like Pivotal CloudFoundry (PCF), when using Pivotal Cloud Cache (PCC)…
