The mission of Spring and Spring Boot has always been about making challenging development tasks easier. In 2020, that includes creating cloud-native applications as container images to be deployed in Kubernetes and making efficient use of threads with reactive programming. In this Q&A session, Michael Carducci and Craig Walls discuss what Spring and Spring Boot have to offer for modern application developers.
Craig Walls is an engineer with VMware, Java Champion, Alexa Champion, and the author of Spring in Action, Spring Boot in Action, and Build Talking Apps. He's a zealous promoter of the Spring Framework, speaking frequently at local user groups and conferences and writing about Spring.
