On behalf of Spring Cloud Dataflow team, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Spring Functions Catalog. The project's primary focus is to provide a set of standalone Java functions that can be useful in the end-user applications as-is. All the published artifacts are, essentially, auto-configurations for some specific Supplier, Function or Consumer.

We have just released 5.0.0-M1 into https://repo.spring.io/milestone repository, and all you need is to include this BOM into your Gradle (or Maven) configuration:

org.springframework.cloud.fn:spring-function-dependencies:5.0.0-M1

In addition, bug fixes version 5.5.18 has been released.

The Spring Integration 6.1 version is a natural evolution of 6.x generation with fixes and improvements which didn't make it into 6.0. Plus we listen to community and make some possibly, but convenient for target projects breaking changes.

Some highlights of this new version include:

• Upgrades to the latest dependencies, but only if they don't break the public API we expose

• Added Protobuf transformers support (shout out to Christian Tzolov)

• Migration of Zip extension to respective module in the core project

• The MessageFilter now emits a WARN log when a request message is dropped making it, technically, not silent as it was before

• Now gateways and replying handlers don't block forever for sending and receiving operations.

Dear Spring community,

Today I'm excited to share with you news that Spring Integration extension project for AWS and AWS Kinesis Binder for Spring Cloud Stream have finally been moved to AWS Java SDK v2, their respective milestones 3.0.0-M2 & 4.0.0-M1 are available from Spring Milestone repository.

I cannot tell that this was a pleasant work to do because it has turned to be not just a plain dependencies upgrade and namespace renaming. The whole AWS SDK API was changed to more modern Java style, including CompletableFuture composition and Stream API, lambda-style configuration, generated…

Hey Spring Community!

I hope you are enjoying Spring One Essentials these days. The most exciting feature for me is an Observability which is spread throughout the Spring portfolio from now on. Nevertheless, today I’d like to share with a project I’m working on since holidays, where the mentioned observability makes a perfect sense, too.

I’ll start from the far. Let’s imagine we are learning a new programming language! I do learn Go to better understand Kubernetes, for example. Of course, we deal with some primitives and basic structures, first of all. Then we implement some well-known…
