Hi Spring fans! In this brief 8 part series we’re going to look at the Spring Cloud integration for Google Cloud Platform, called Spring Cloud GCP. Spring Cloud GCP represents a joint effort between Google and Pivotal that endeavors to provide a first class experience for Spring Cloud developers when using the Google Cloud Platform. Pivotal Cloud Foundry users will enjoy an even easier integration with the GCP service broker. I wrote these installments with input from Google Cloud Developer Advocate, and my buddy, Ray Tsang. You can also catch a walkthrough of Spring Cloud GCP in our Google Next 2018 session, Bootiful Google Cloud Platform. Thanks buddy! As always, I’d love to hear from you if you have feedback.

Hi Spring fans and welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring. This week I’ve been in smokey Seattle and I just arrived in hot-n-humid NYC, in both cases to visit customers and Spring teammates. We’ve got so much to cover, so without further ado, let’s get to it!

The Spring team are all heads down as we near the epic SpringOne Platform 2018 event. Are you going to be there? It’s going to be September 24-27th, 2018 in Washington, DC. Do not miss this premier event uniting practicioners of agile, Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, devops, and of course Spring in one place.

On behalf of the team and everyone that contributed, I am pleased to announce that the second milestone of Spring Boot 2.1 has been released and is available from our milestone repository. This release closes 75 issues and pull requests!

This second milestone aligns with Spring Framework 5.1.RC2 and is the first release with support of Java 11.

Other highlights of this second milestone include:

• Auto-configuration for task execution (@EnableAsync) and task scheduling (@EnableScheduling)
• Configurable bootstrap mode for JPA
• OAuth2 resource server support
• Improved logging output for web applications
• Improved binding for data size properties.

On behalf of the Spring Data team, I’d like to announce the availability of the Lovelace RC2 release. This ships in preparation of Spring Boot 2.1 M2 and, of course, our own GA release mid-September. The release ships with 82 tickets fixed. You can find more details in the the updated and curated release wiki.

A pretty late but significant new feature has made it into the release: deferred repository initialization for Spring Data JPA. The feature allows your startup to use Spring Framework’s JPA background initialization option more effectively and can significantly cut down startup time. See the previewing example for details.
