Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This year has flown so quickly by! Can you believe we're less than 19 days until 2017? I'm utterly stunned. I suppose I shouldn't be, though, given the breakneck speed of progress and new software releases from the Spring team and the community. What a good problem to have!

This week, after returning from Australia early Sunday morning, I hacked with my buddy Josh McKenty, I spoke with my buddy Baruch at the San Francisco Java User Group on Monday, will speak with my buddy Matt Raible at the Denver Java User Group on Wednesday (don't miss it!), and will speak in Saint Louis on Thursday and Hartford on Friday. It's going to be a fun week and if you're around, don't hesitate to say hi…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speakers: - Ted Tollefson, Shawn Sherwood, Kroger Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/easy-consumption-of-microservices

Cloud Foundry makes it easy to deploy and run microservices. Now that you have your microservice running, how do you make it easy for other teams to consume it? Spring Initializr, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud Netflix and Cloud Foundry can be used together to make the consumption side easy and efficient. Client libraries can be offered in Spring Initializr. The generated Spring Boot application can be deployed to Cloud Foundry…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speakers: Martin Lippert, Kris De Volder, Andy Clement Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/next-level-spring-boot-tooling

The recent releases of the widely used Spring tooling for Eclipse have focused a lot on making Spring Boot app and microservice development easier and more effective. In this talk we will showcase the latest features for working with Spring Boot - using live demos and live coding. We will show the easiest ways to get started with Spring Boot, move on to advanced features for dealing with Spring Boot properties in property…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speakers: Barrington-Hughes, Ramaswamy, Premier Healthcare Inc Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/no-outage-database-development-with-spring-boot-and-liquibase

Pavi and I work on a project in Premier where we've embedded Liquibase into the start of our Spring Boot applications to upgrade our database in-direct coupling with the code we are deploying.

Using a measured and planned approach to agile database development and careful refactoring of the database with more frequent but smaller changes, we facilitate having no outage deployments…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speaker: Dan Woods Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/high-performance-microservices-with-ratpack-and-spring-boot-64889596

Ratpack and Spring Boot are a match made in microservice heaven. Each brings its respective strengths to the task of building a compelling service for the cloud. Spring Boot's incorporation of the Spring and Spring Cloud ecosystems make it an excellent choice for building service components; Ratpack's nature as a reactive web framework and its emphasis on performance and efficiency make it a premiere choice for a durable…

On behalf on the Spring Roo team at DISID Corporation, I'm pleased to announce the third milestone of Spring Roo 2.0. This is the last milestone, from now on we're going to work in the first release candidate.

M3 generates fully functional Spring applications, this release includes important changes in the architecture of the generated applications, that should be compatible with the improvements that the RC1 will introduce but it is not guaranteed, so the projects generated with the M3 might not been upgraded automatically by the RC1.

The significant new features since the second milestone…

Speaker: Josh Long

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll look at the Codecentric Spring Boot Admin and the Ordina JWorks Microservices Dashboard

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Brisbane, Australia, on the second leg of the YOW! conference circuit. If you're around, please say hi or find me when YOW! moves to Sydney in a few days.

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

• If you're not up to date with JUnit 5.0 and Spring Framework, this is a must - see talk from Sam Brannen at Swiftmind
• good news! the webinar introducing CQRS with Axon and Spring Boot that Axon lead and founder Allard Buijze and I delivered is now online
• Spring Integration lead Gary Russell just announced Spring Integration 5.0 M1. This release features a lot of nice new features and simplifies some older ones. One of my favorite features: it packages the Java DSL in the framework itself now, instead of a separate release! Get the bits, kick the tires.
• Janne Valkealahti has just announced Spring Statemachine 1.2.0.RC1…

Recorded at SpringOne Platform 2016. Speaker: Phil Webb Slides: none, all live coding In this talk we'll cover the host of new features that have been added to Spring Boot 1.4 to help with testing. We'll discuss how to unit test your code, how (and when) to involve Spring in your tests, and talk about the various tools and libraries that you should be using. Taking a simple application, we're going to add:

• Unit tests for basic components
• Integration Tests for JPA entities and queries
• Tests for JSON marshalling and unmarshalling
• Tests for Spring MVC controllers
• Tests for remote RestTemplate calls (using mocking)
• End-to-end integration tests (hitting a real HTTP endpoint)
