Speaking of performance, we also removed the initial delay when opening the new logical structure view in VSCode for the first time. The content now shows up almost instantly 🚀😎

Vienna calling! En route to the Java & Software Architecture Meetup tomorrow and the <Code/Crafts> conference on Thursday… 🍃📦 — www.meetup.com/de-de/softwa... — code-crafts.com

8 years since the first commit to what should eventually become Spring Modulith. github.com/moduliths/mo... 🍃📦🥳 #SpringModulith

Most developers reach for a message broker the second they need reliable events. You might not need one. Spring Modulith ships with a durable event registry that persists events right to your database. Here's how to use it. https://youtu.be/KLX9ulb2AfM

I‘m glad that the fiber to the home installation is just yet another IT project…

Happy 14th birthday, Spring HATEOAS! 🍃🔗🥳 #hypermedia #hateoas

”Spring – The Documentary“ is live! 🤩🫶🍃

We continued our work on this new bean completion and made it a lot faster... 🚀 And that is just the beginning, additional completion and quick fix speedups coming with the next release 😎

AI tools don't muddle along with us. They fall below muddling, plausible deniability disguised as code. Low features, low flexibility, complexity stacking until even the genie gives up.

Spring Modulith brings real structure to your Spring Boot applications, letting the domain drive how you organize and work with modules. If you've been wanting to keep your monolith clean and maintainable, this beginner intro covers what you need to know. https://youtu.be/xHlDyKVyvig

It is pretty cool when you can log into your #SpringBoot web application using TouchID via #WebAuthn (Web Authentication). I have implemented this using the #spring-security-webauthn module (login + passkey manegement via UserCredentialRepository). #java docs.spring.io/spring-secur...

🥁📢 Spring Modulith 2.1 RC1, 2.0.6, and 1.4.11 are here! Primarily bug fixes and polishing as we approach 2.1 GA end of May. 🍃📦 #SpringModulith

IT organizations, that are not able to roll out software upgraded to the latest versions of libraries they use, have interesting times ahead of themselves. If you struggle with that, now is the time to fix that.

I can hardly imagine anyone but @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social to so perfectly capture the mood of a conference like Spring I/O. It's been the best one yet! Thank you, @sergialmar.com, and see you all in Valencia! 👋🍃📦 #SpringIO26

Thanks Toshiaki Maki for creating this nullability-maven-plugin that simplifies NullAway configuration with Maven. #java #spring #jspecify ik.am/entries/900/en

Spring Data 2025.1.5 and 2025.0.11 released spring.io/blog/2026/04...

Behind every release are months of obsessing over details. 🚀 While you're building with Spring 7/Boot 4, we’re sharing the "why." This @infoq.com interview covers API versioning, Jakarta EE 11, AI, tooling, and what’s next. Full story: www.infoq.com/articles/spr... #SpringFramework #SpringBoot

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

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
