We're pleased to announce the release of Spring IO Platform 1.0.0 RELEASE, and represents some amazing engineering work. The highlights of this release are:

• A Bill-of-Materials release (a Maven BOM dependency) that level sets the versions for you.
• Spring IO represents curated and harmonized dependencies that just work together - tests cover all the Spring projects and lots of popular 3rd party open source
• One platform, many workloads - build web (HTML-, websocket-, and REST-powered web apps), mobile, integration, batch, reactive or big data applications, or just great APIs
• Radically simplified development experience with Spring Boot
• Production-ready features provided out of the box (monitoring, metrics, etc)
• …

We've had powerful Rules Engines and Complex Event Processing for a good decade now and there are several powerful ones on the market, some even open source. Many of these engines though have been build around single albeit efficient applications running on a single machine. As we take Big Data head on we start to see the need to rules that we can distribute and complex events processing across our distributed system. Combining Pivotal's GemFire and C24's Integration Objects, naturally glued together with a little Spring, we can process millions of complex events in seconds. John will walk through some of the design and use-cases of these powerful system.

Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring - this week I'm working with the amazing Vaadin team on building some ridiculously fun applications. Be ready for more on that soon! Also, the SpringOne2GX 2014 early bird has been extended to June 30th, so register now! Without further ado, onward:

• Spring Boot 1.1.2 is now available! The new release features mainly bug fixes and more. Check it out!

• Adib Saikali gave a nice talk introducing where the rest of the Spring IO platform benefits from Java 8, above and beyond the uses we've previously described in Spring framework.

• Check out this replay of Spring Batch lead Michael Minella's webinar introducing Spring Batch 3.0

• Check out Glenn Renfro's introduction to using Spring Integration in an internet-of-things world

• Spring Data lead Oliver Gierke has announced the final service release for Spring Data Codd. This release contains bug-fixes that were already in the RC and GA releases of the Dijkstra release train.

Speaker: Lyndon Adams

As Information Technology evolves and improves, the demands of industry and the internet continue to challenge its capabilities. Today's 'Internet of Things', with millions of devices reporting their status on the network every second, produces massive streams of events. Getting the information in these events consumed and correlated so that it can be used to make routing and processing decisions on related events is particularly challenging. As the data demands of these processes increases, traditional client-server architectures begin to fail. Combining event processing with patterns and knowledge gleamed from Big Data models enables whole new kinds of real-time applications. Spring Integration and other Spring projects play a big role in this new paradigm, adding developer productivity and ease of integration into the mix. Lyndon will discuss and demonstrate the architectural decisions and use cases that occur when Fast Data meets Big Data.

The second maintenance release for Spring Boot 1.1 has been released and is available now from repo.spring.io and maven central.

This release fixes a number of issues and also offers some performance improvements when running "executable JARs". For a complete list of changes see the issue tracker.

(Windows users may want to use the Spring Boot 1.1.3.RELEASE as it fixes some Windows specific issues.)

Speaker: Glenn Renfro

With the increase in the number of devices that emit information it has become ever more important to be able to retrieve this data and process accordingly. In response to this need, MQTT has become the defacto lightweight transport for connecting an "Internet of things". With that being said, how do your applications support for eventing, messaging, and scheduling? Utilizing Spring Boot and Spring Integration you will see how to create an application with a scheduler that will retrieve data from a web service, cleanse and emit the data via MQTT. Then you'll see how to create an application, also written using Spring Boot and Spring Integration, that will capture the MQTT events and record the results. From this discussion you can see how to use these tools and take advantage of them for your own big data projects as soon as you return to the office.

Speaker: Adib Saikali

Spring Framework 4.0 ships with Java 8 support that means being that you can start using all the great features of Java 8 right away. This presentation will show examples of how to use Java 8 with Spring Framework 4 in the repository layer, the services layer and the controller layer. For each example we will show a Java 7 and a Java 8 version so that you can easily see the pros and cons of the Java 8 based solution. No previous experience with Java 8 is required or assumed, we will cover some basic features of Java 8 as we go along. About the speaker: Adib is an expert programmer and has a passion for the interface between business and technology. He launched his career as a coder with a number of entrepreneurial organizations, ranging from small startups to (the then 750-employee) RIM. Adib has trained and mentored thousands of developers at organizations throughout Canada, USA and Europe. His substantial technical knowledge, extensive project experience and ability to look at technical problems from a variety of perspectives allow him to create innovative solutions to 'real world' problems.

Speaker: Michael Minella

Spring Batch 3.0.0 introduces JSR-352 support, among other features. Adopting a Java EE standard that was directly based on Spring Batch to begin with is fortunately, fairly straightforward for us. JavaEE7 compliance updates and expands the scope of Spring Batch 3.0.0 to combine JavaEE7/352 compliance with years of Batch's battle-tested, proven-in-production codebase. Of course, there is a wealth of capability and features that go far beyond the specification into distributed processing and beyond. In this webinar, project lead Michael Minella will cover Spring Batch's implementation of JSR-352 as well as some of the new features in the 3.0 release.

I'd like to announce the availability of the third and final service release for the Spring Data release train named Codd. The release contains a lot of bug fixes that made it into the RC and GA releases of the Dijkstra release train already.
