On behalf of the Spring Cloud team it is my pleasure to announce a new milestone release of Spring Cloud Pipelines - 1.0.0.M2. Apart from some bug fixes it’s providing an out of the box support for Gradle projects.

In order for the Gradle project to work out of the box the following opinionated decisions were taken:

• usage of Gradlew Wrapper

• custom deploy task is used for artifacts deployment

• running smoke tests on a deployed app via the custom smoke task

• running end to end tests on a deployed app via the custom e2e task

• custom groupId task to retrieve group id

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'll be in Des Moines, Iowa for the Prairie.Code conference. If you're nearby, stop by and say hi!

As usual, we've got a lot to cover so let's get to it.

We get it already! Microservices let you decompose your application into small, singly-focused, reusable and internally consistent bounded contexts - services - deployed over a network.

Great, but that still doesn't help me get these systems to agree on the worldview of my domain! And that's because...there is no world view of the model that is correct for all services involved.
