This Week in Spring: New Releases, RSocket Messaging, and Going Reactive

Hi, Spring fans! What a week it’s been! When we last spoke, I was in Capetown, South Africa, or Johannesburg, South Africa. I’ve since been to Mauritius, back to Capetown, Serbia (for the amazing ITKonekt conference), and I’m now staring at the beautiful Bund river in beautiful Shanghai, China, as I write this.

We’ve got a ton to get to this week, as usual, so let’s get to it!

• On another installment of Spring Tips, we talk about our just-released-in-master support for RSocket Messaging in Spring Boot 2.2. It’s here! It’s finally here! I was so excited to see this land, and I hope you get a chance to try it out.
