Hi, Spring fans! In this (relatively quick) installment, recorded live from the lovely Spring I/O 2023, Josh Long talks to Microsoft's Sean Li about some of the latest and greatest in the Azure ecosystem for Spring developers.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are key components of securing communications between systems in a layered or service-oriented architecture. Spring Boot applications in such an architecture often accept incoming network connections or create outgoing connections, and developers are tasked with configuring applications to work in such a secure environment.

If you've ever worked with the Java security and SSL APIs, you're probably aware that this is not a particularly fun task. It often involves multiple trips to stackoverflow.com to copy and paste code. There are a…

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! And what an insane week it's been! Long story short, I've spent 10-12 hours a day over the last five days migrating a dozen differnet applications and services from one GKE cluster to another, taking the time to update things as much as possible.

He and I (well, mostly him) did an awesome live demo setting up an Authorization Server, a Resource server, and OAuth OIDC client with login support. We did it all from scratch using Spring Boot 3.1, too! Check this out!
