This Month in Spring – August 2021

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Month in Spring! It's my favorite time of the year. Yes, that's right: SpringOne is nearly upon us! SpringOne is, of course, our seminal, tentpole conference for all things JVM, Kubernetes, Spring Boot, microservices, data integration,  operations, continuous delivery, ASCII art, the fine and lost art of testing, and oh so much more. It's going to be jam-packed full of fun. It's also entirely free and online! Do not miss this! You can visit the website or check us out on Twitter (@springone) for more.

I'll be there and so will the rest of the Spring team! Do not miss this event. You'll learn about Spring Boot, GrapQL, Kubernetes, microservices, GraalVM and Spring Native, RSocket, the Spring Authorization Server, Azure Spring Cloud, observability, and SO MUCH MORE. I'm so excited, I've resorted to parody poetry as a way to express my joy!

Also, word to the wise: don't miss the keynotes. They're going to be spectacular!

What else has been going on? Let's see? Well, when last we talked, I was taking a much-needed, three week trip to Hawaii with my family. When I returned, I realized I had a mild case of COVID-19. (Thank you, vaccines!) It was "mild" in that I didn't need to go to the hospital, but I wouldn't wish that "mild" virus on anyone. It was awful. I had many mornings when I struggled to catch my breath. I finally tested negative last week, but that doesn't mean I'm entirely out of the woods yet. Evicting phlegm is the name of the game as I write this. Mercifully, all the other symptoms have since dissipated. Don't get this virus, folks. Do the right thing. As I've always said, some things should not be open-source. COVID-19 is one of them!

Anyway, enough about this, that, and the rest. Let's get to the roundup! There's a ton of good stuff to tide us over until the big event next week!
