The Spring Blog

Speaker: Mark Heckler, Pivotal

In today’s microservices-based world, many mission-critical systems have distributed elements or are entirely distributed. Ideally, these architectures should improve things such as performance, scalability, reliability, and resilience—but subpar design can limit those strengths, or worse yet, turn them into challenges that need to be overcome.

Messaging platforms help solve these problems and improve the “ilities,” but they come with a few complexities of their own. This webinar will teach you how to use open-source solutions like Spring Cloud Stream, RabbitMQ, and Apache Kafka to maximize your distributed systems’ capabilities while minimizing complexity.

On behalf of the community, I am pleased to announce that the Service Release 6 (SR6) of the Spring Cloud Edgware Release Train is available today. The release can be found in Maven Central. You can check out the Edgware release notes for more information.

Spring en la primavera

….And I’m not going anywhere until Thursday when I’ll fly home to San Francisco, USA to see our kid graduate middle school! I’m so proud of her. What a legend.

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of a Bootiful Podcast Josh Long (@starbuxman) talks to Twitter’s Chris Thalinger (@christhalinger) about Graal VM; JITs; Compilers; Hawaii, USA; Sao Paolo, Brazil; and so much more.

The Spring Cloud Data Flow team is pleased to announce the release of 2.1 of Data Flow.

We have a brand new website with great new content, which is where you can find our getting started guide for use on Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes and your Local Machine.

Here are the highlights:

New Dedicated Data Flow Website

The Data Flow team takes pride is openly communicating with the community in various forums including StackOverflow, Gitter, GitHub, Twitter, and at times in Email and Zoom calls even.

However, we realized that we could provide a much better experience to answer common questions and provide an easier on-ramp to using Data Flow if we focused on improving the online documentation. The reference guide was not the ideal format to achieve that goal, so we embarked on creating a new website - https://dataflow.spring.io - that acts as the hub for learning about all things Data Flow related.

Hi Spring fans! It’s been quite a crazy week! I was in Spring I/O last week in Barcelona, Spain and there was a deluge of interesting news to come out of the show! I loved the show - a sort of mini SpringOne - and am chomping at the bit to see what comes next. I’m now beginning a small tour starting in Zurich, Switzerland; then I’m off to the paradise-like Paris, France for the epic SpringOne Tour event there, then I’m off to Minsk, Belarus; then off to Barcelona, Spain for JBCN, and then - finally - home for the middle school graduation of my kid at the end of the month. So much exciting stuff culminating in an even more exciting event, I can hardly stand it!
