Greetings Apache Geode Community- It is my please to announce several *Spring* releases related to the Apache Geode project.
* First up, *Spring Data for Apache Geode* (SDG) 2.0.9.RELEASE (Kay-SR9) [1] and *Spring Data for Apache Geode* 2.1.0.RC2 (Lovelace-RC2) [2] are available. * Then, *Spring Session for Apache Geode* (SSDG) 2.0.5.RELEASE and 2.1.0.M1 [3] was made available. * And finally, *Spring Boot for Apache Geode* 1.0.0.M2 [4] was released. *Spring Boot for Apache Geode* (SBDG) is a great way to develop applications powered by Apache Geode in a *Spring* context and take the complexity out of building and running your applications easily and quickly. Additionally, SBDG builds on the great foundation provided by *Spring Boot* and SDG, which are themselves built on the solid foundation of the core *Spring Framework*. In the latest release of SBDG, we add support for auto-configuration of *Spring Session* when using Apache Geode to manage and store your *Spring Boot* application's (HTTP) Session state. There will be 1 more milestone release (1.0.0.M3) before we push towards final GA. The plan in M3 is to start exploring and introducing monitoring support through *Spring Boot* HealtIndicators [5] and eventually add support for *Spring Boot* Actuator [6], which is itself built on *Micrometer* [7]. Our very own *Udo Kohlmeyer* is doing some awesome work around retrofitting Apache Geode's Stats architecture to be based on *Micrometer*. In fact, *Udo* will presenting (*Metrics for the Masses*) [8] on this down at *SpringOne Platform* in D.C. in September. Also, *Luke Shannon* and I will be presenting on SBDG in our session "*Scaling Spring Boot Applications in Real-Time*" [9]. *SpringOne Platform* 2018 is loaded with a lot of great content [10] and speakers [11] this year, so don't miss your chance to learn from the best. Also, if you have not seen it yet, be sure to checkout this video [12] by *Addison Huddy* on SDG. Alright, that's all for now. Many more great things to come; stay tuned. Feedback most welcomed.
