The future of scalable data processing is event-driven microservices! They provide a powerful paradigm that solves issues typically associated with distributed applications such as availability, data consistency, or communication complexity, and allows the creation of sophisticated and extensible data processing pipelines.

Building on the ease of development and deployment provided by Spring Boot and the cloud native capabilities of Spring Cloud, the Spring Cloud Stream project provides a simple and powerful framework for creating event-driven microservices…

Welcome to another installation of This Week in Spring! This week I'm working with customers and trying to bring the Spring (and hoping for the according weather!) to hitherto snow-covered Denver, Colorado.

Speaker: Joe Stein Big Data Track Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/developing-realtime-data-pipelines-with-apache-kafka-53201942 Developing Real-Time Data Pipelines with Apache Kafka http://kafka.apache.org/ is an introduction for developers about why and how to use Apache Kafka. Apache Kafka is a publish-subscribe messaging system rethought of as a distributed commit log. Kafka is designed to allow a single cluster to serve as the central data backbone. A single Kafka broker can handle hundreds of megabytes of reads and writes per second from…

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2015. Speaker: Craig Walls Data / Integration Track Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/spring-developers-guide-to-social-integration There's an internet full of services ready to be plugged into your Spring applications. These services offer a wealth of information about the users of your application, including information about their interests, places they travel to and visit, their friends, family, and colleagues, and even what temperature they like to keep in their home. All you need to do is tap into it.

In this session, you'll see how to use…

Conclusion

The Spring Boot Dashboard blog series:

• The Spring Boot Dashboard in STS - Part 1: Local Boot Apps
• The Spring Boot Dashboard in STS - Part 2: Working with Cloud Foundry
• The Spring Boot Dashboard in STS - Part 3: Spring Boot Devtools reloaded

We are pleased to announce the second milestone of Spring AMQP 1.6 is available.

Additions since the first milestone include:

• The caching connection factory now exposes cache statistics

• @RabbitListener methods now communicate type information to the message converter for inbound messages. This means, for example, the Jackson2JsonMessageConverter no longer needs a custom class mapper when a message without type information in the headers is received (e.g. from a sender that is not a Spring AMQP app). Instead, the @RabbitListener method parameter type is used in the conversion. In addition, the Method and bean are also made available via message properties to custom converters.
