This Week in Spring: All Things Spring Cloud and More

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This week I'm in Antwerp, Belgium for the epic Devoxx event. I was in Singapore for Devoxx Belgium 2018, and so I was so glad I was able to make it this year!

I finished a "deep dive" session this morning with an amazing crowd of people who hung out with me for 3 hours to talk about Reactive Spring. I've got two more one-hour talks on Thursday — "Bootiful Testing" and "Bootiful Kotlin." I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone for those talks as well!

We're keeping it short and sweet this week, so let's get to it!
