Stream updates and rollback

A streaming data pipeline orchestrated as a series of microservice applications has always been the core value of Spring Cloud Data Flow’s design.

Spring Cloud Connectors lays the foundation for connectors that integrate with various Cloud services. It has ships components that allow correct…
