Do you prefer nicely formatted text blocks for your query annotations when using Spring Data? @springtools.bsky.social has an option now to produce exactly those when turning repository AOT metadata into query annotations 😍

Winding down Spring I/O in style… #springio26

Today, from the venue of Spring I/O, I'm open-sourcing a new library to make data-driven testing in Java a little bit easier: JUnit Converters! A collection of ready-to-use argument converters designed to streamline parameterized testing in JUnit 6 (and 5!) 🚀 🧵 stefano.codes/junit-conver...

There's no better place to make an announcement than SpringIO Barcelona! I'm happy to announce stubborn.sh - a broker for Spring Cloud Contract contracts! Check the demo at demo.stubborn.sh

#InfoQ dives deep into #SpringFramework 7 & #SpringBoot 4. Key Focus: the shift toward core resilience by integrating features such as retry and concurrency throttling directly into the framework, alongside the performance benefits of modularizing auto-configurations. 🔗 bit.ly/4vmqb6S #Java

Why has it never occurred to folks that a from-scratch construction site looks nothing like a „green field“? 🤔 #springio26

In case you haven't seen this in action yet: Spring Data JDBC query annotations now have SQL syntax highlighting and validation as-you-type - proudly brought to you by the @springtools.bsky.social 😎🥳

At @springio.net keynote, Rossen shares how Spring embraces Virtual Threads, Structured Concurency, and what is coming in Spring Framework 7.1+ to support streaming on Spring MVC stack (RestClient server-sent events for example), as well as related performance improvements. #java #springio26

A keynote going in depth about TDD and scenario testing? Only at #springio26 🥰🎆, where SpringFramework gurus like @odrotbohm.de dive into the framework.

Spring I/O Barcelona, here we come! 🇪🇸 The Spring team is heading to Spring I/O in full force this year. We can’t wait to hang out with the community and talk all things Framework, Boot, AI, and more. Check out our speaker session lineup: spring.io/blog/2026/04... 🍃 #SpringIO

Current Spring I/O keynote preparation status… #SpringIO

Boarding DRS to FRA to BCN for Spring I/O 2026. Safe travels everyone! Looking forward to see you! 🍃📦🛫 #SpringIO

🍃 #SpringFramework 7.1 will support @⁠MockitoBean and @⁠MockitoSpyBean on test constructor parameters! 🚀 It works with Java constructors, but it's even nicer with Kotlin compact constructors. It also works with so-called "test records" in Java. 🤓 github.com/spring-proje...

Spring Data JDBC brings out the best in #Kotlin. Constructor-based mapping keeps val fields truly immutable. Value classes map natively – no @Embedded, no extra setup. No proxies, no hidden state. Check it out 👇 jb.gg/agfdv4

Hey Spring fans 🍃 My book "Testing Spring Boot Applications" is in early access with @manning.com. We made a short video to tell you all about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAFK... It's 50% until April 16th with the promo code MLGarniermoiroux. Check it out: hubs.la/Q0473JRG0

Defining and including your own stereotypes in the new Spring logical structure view has never been easier - with the latest release of @springtools.bsky.social, your catalog files are automatically merged with the defaults, for those not using jMolecules directly 🥳🚀😎

Happy birthday, Mr. Spring Data, @mp911.de! 🥳👏

”… an architecture that allows teams to develop, deploy, and scale independently is clearly desirable.“ Hot take: in this generalized form the statement is false. Whether a quality attribute of an architecture is desirable requires scrutiny. blog.redplanetlabs.com/2026/03/31/t... 1/2

On behalf of the entire Spring Cloud team we are pleased to announce the release of Spring Cloud 2025.0.2. This release includes a few key dependency updates across the release train. More details can be found on our blog: spring.io/blog/2026/04...

Support for functional web route definitions in @springtools.bsky.social now works for Spring WebMVC as well, understands static methods and builder pattern, visualizes the extracted routes in the symbols + logical structure view, and shows a nice code lens on the handler method 😎🚀

Germany's hottest funk band, the Heavytones, have recorded a Little Big Beat Studio performance, and it's just as awesome as you'd expect. 🤩💃🕺🔥 #heavytones #moritzmueller #littlebigbeatstudiosritzmueller #littlebigbeatstudios

the CIA posts stuff like this so you can feel like you're part of the ruling class by purchasing a pair of $150 loafers off eBay instead of asking for affordable housing, free healthcare, and better working conditions

Huge congrats to the Spring Boot team! Twelve years of innovation, and with the latest 4.0, you're still leading the way! @philwebb.dev @0.5ritter.de

🥁📢 Spring Modulith 2.1 M4 is here! Support for JobRunr for event externalization and more control over which event listeners to create entries for in the EPR. Grab it while it's 🔥! 🍃📦 #SpringModulith #JobRunr

When you write code, you review it as you write it. The two acts are inseparable. When using someone else's code, you extend some degree of trust because you know they did the same.

Nice improvements coming as part of the Spring Tools 5.1.0 release, including syntax highlighting for SQL statements inside of query annotations for Spring Data JDBC projects... 🥳🚀

Happy 22nd birthday, Spring Framework! 🥳🍃 #Spring spring.io/blog/2004/03...

The best conversations happen around a table. This year, we'll introduce the Spring Roundtables, small group conversations during the conference to explore topics in depth with other Spring developers. What topic would you like to discuss? 👇

Hardly a more timely choice by Dave than to perform “Don't Drink the Water” on The Late Show yesterday… ♥️ #dmb

“The system must be modular. Independent parts of the system must be microservices. Therefore, the system should be cloud native.” 😔

Spring's website just got an upgrade! spring.io/projects/rel... highlights the releases over all the projects. No more rummaging in wikis, all in one place! #spring

Anyone aware of something more official / standardized to add details about individual field errors to a Problem Details HTTP response beyond what's described as extension example in the RFC itself? datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc...

I'll be talking in April at Spring I/O 2026 about the new stuff in Spring Boot 4. Looking forward to it! 2026.springio.net/sessions/spr... @springio.net #spring #springboot

Oh, it’s benchmarketing season, again… 🙄😮‍💨

Spring Modulith is very valuable tool to avoid dependency cycles between modules in enterprise applications. Must-have tool for every serious project.

SpringModulith helps in building Modular Monolith by providing automated modularity checks & more jb.gg/uj9s2n In this article I have explained: ✨Core principles of Spring Modulith ✨Adapting Spring Modulith in an existing Spring Boot app ✨How @intellijidea.com helps with inspections, & quick fixes

Need a straightforward persistence layer for a CRUD service? Spring Data JDBC is lean and explicit. For a DB-first approach, use IntelliJ IDEA to generate entities from an existing schema. Liquibase and Flywaydb diff generation are also supported. jb.gg/b8o1hq

CRUD only seems simpler because you're leaving the workflows to be assembled by each user in their heads.
