Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's November 14th, and you know what that means? NINE MORE DAYS until Spring Boot 3.2 drops (on the day of the US holiday of Thanksgiving, no less)!
Some key features include:
- virtual threads
- initial CRaC support
- more sophisticated observability with Micrometerio
- JdbcClient, RestClient
- ActiveMQ Testcontainers/ Docker Compose support
- Kotlin 1.9.0
- hot reloading of SSL trust materials
I can't wait for the next release. I've been playing with it for months. It builds on the strenghts of Spring Boot 3.0 and 3.1. 3.0 brought GraalVM native images, and 3.1 brought Testcontainers and Docker Compose support. This release brings with it Project Loom and CRaC support. It's never been so easy to be so scalable, fast, and productive!
This month's roundup is epic, and I can't wait to get into it, but, seeing as we're also only nine days from the US holiday of Thanksgiving, a day in which we celebrate that which we are thankful for, let me say: thank you, my friends. I know I can speak on behalf of the Spring team, too. We couldn't do what we do without you, a fact for which I remain eternally grateful. Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Alright my friends, there's a ton to get into in this month's roundup, so let's dive right into it!

- Spring Modulith 1.1 RC1 and 1.0.2 released - this is quickly turning into one of my favorite new projects and is well worth your attention, too. It's a structured way to build well-designed, elegant, modular monoliths (or moduliths), but it has the plumbing to also make expanding into a distributed system easy, too. I love this framwork! Spring Boot has opinions around the technical arrangement of your code, and this framework, building on top of Spring Boot, has opinions on the architectural arrangement of your application. But if you use it correctly, your application's code is better for it. Nice!
