Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of _This Week in Spring_! How are you this fine 20th of February, 2024? I'm doing alright on this rainy 20th of Feburary here in San Francisco, and I hope you are too! We've got a _ton_ of things to get into this week so let's dive right into it! * Have you checked out the Spring Health Assessment report? It's a great way to give your project's dependencies a health checkup. [Spring Health Assessment]() * [Spring for Apache Pulsar 1.0.3 is now available]() * [Spring for Apache Kafka 3.0.14, and 3.2.0 M1 are now available]() * [The first milestone of Spring Data 2024.0.0 available]() * [Spring Data 2023.1.3 and 2023.0.9 available]( /16/spring-data-2023-1-3-and-2023-0-9-available) * In last week's installment of _A Bootiful Podcast_, I talked to Java Developer Advocate at Oracle, Nicolai Parlog. [A Bootiful Podcast]() * [Spring Framework 6.1.4, 6.0.17, and 5.3.32 are now available]() * Have you heard of OpenFGA before? It's an interesting way to model authorities in a secure system, and it looks like we might see an integration with Spring Security. Check it out and sound off. [We'd love to get your feedback]() * The New Relic state of the Java ecosystem report is out and it, like a Shakespearean tragedy, is a well-written but sad story. [2023 State of the Java Ecosystem](). People: this is why we can't have nice things! Let's _please_ try and use Java 21? All together now. Ready? One, two, three... go! * Have you tried [Wim Deblauwe's amazing error handling library for Spring Boot? It's dope.]() * I liked this video looking at some trends in modern Java and Spring Boot. Nice job, Siva! [Modern Java and Spring Boot]() I've been busy the last few weeks! I did a bunch of videos you might want to see. * Here's a relatively popular video I did at [Voxxed Days CERN talk looking at Spring Boot 3]() * [All Spring Tips installments](). There are some good videos there. Recently, I did a video on [Spring Boot 3.1](), [and Java 21](), [and Spring Boot 3.2](), and [Spring's event subsystem](), and [Spring Data JDBC](), and the humble [DataSource](), and CQRS with [the Axon Framework and Spring Boot](), and [the new Spring AI project](), and [Spring Boot TestJars](), and [the Spring Authorization Server]()
