TDD introduced many improvements into the development process, but in our opinion the biggest impact relates to code design. Looking at the code from the usage perspective (by first writing an acceptance test) allows us to focus on usability rather than concrete implementation. Unfortunately, we usually rest on our laurels not trying to uplift this practice to the architecture level.

This presentation will show you how you can use the Spring…

On behalf of the community, I am pleased to announce the first milestone releases of Spring Vault and Spring Cloud Vault 1.0.0.M1.

The artifacts are available in the Milestone repo.

What is Spring Vault and Spring Cloud Vault?

Spring Vault is a client for HashiCorp Vault that provides familiar Spring abstractions. It comes with @VaultPropertySource that exposes encrypted properties from Vault the Environment and VaultTemplate to access secrets stored and encrypted inside Vault.

@Configuration

Hi Spring fans! In this tip, we'll quickly look at the Netflix Hystrix circuit breaker in Spring Cloud and the circuit breaker in Spring Retry

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

• custom artifactId task to retrieve artifact id

• custom currentVersion task to retrieve the current version

• custom stubIds task to retrieve list of collaborators for which stubs should be downloaded

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.

• Spring Cloud ninja Marcin Grzejszczak just announced Spring Cloud Camden SR1. The Spring Cloud release train is such a thing of beauty - just seeing it makes me want to build something cool! It includes Spring Cloud AWS, Bus, Commons, Contract, Config, Netflix, Security, Sleuth, Stream, Task, and Zookeeper.
• Spring Cloud Data Flow co-founder Dr. Mark Pollack just announced Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.1.M2.
• Want help automating the pipeline that sees your application move from a git push to a successfully deployed application in production? Check out the new project, Spring Cloud Pipelines, which is a set of shell scripts that can be plugged in portably across Pivotal Concourse or Jenkins…

Speakers: Josh Long, Allard Buijze

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.

Join Axon framework founder and lead, Allard Buijze at Trifork and Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long, for a look at how to integrate different systems with different read and write…
