That was fast. It took only 6 days between TypeSafe AI releasing Jev and having the Spring AI integration. Nice work @tzolov.bsky.social! The Spring AI Community org is what makes this possible. Projects can be released faster and independently from the Spring AI release.

Spent the day kicking off preparations for Spring I/O 2027 with Jorge Rigabert at our new home in Valencia. Mark the dates: 28-30 April 2027. It's going to be a great edition. See you in Valencia!

And just like that… Spring I/O 2026 is a wrap! I enjoyed every single moment last week, incredible talks, packed rooms, hallway conversations and a community that keeps proving why this conference is so special.

if you're coming to @wasm.io in Barcelona, or are in or around Spain and could come but can't buy a ticket: I've got two tickets!! This is the best #webassembly conf there is. The first two people from whom I receive a communication here or at hachyderm.io/@squillace will get one of those tickets.

It’s happening. Yesterday at the Spring AI workshop, a Python developer told me his company decided to build their AI platform with Java+Spring AI. He mentioned the transition was smooth. We'll see more and more AI apps on the JVM. This is your sign to explore Spring AI.

Thank you for having me one more year @talentarena.bsky.social , it was inspiring to see so many people interested in Spring AI, we covered a lot of ground: the main building blocks, workflow patterns, agentic patterns, agentic protocols, all possible with Spring AI!

In the early days of @springio.net, I barely received any Spring Security related submissions, which I always missed. But this has completely changed in recent years. Security is not an afterthought anymore. What security concern didn't exist for you 5 years ago but does now?

Looking for a distraction prior to registering for @wasm.io? Or planning a trip to @cncf.io #kubeconeu? I blather on about #webassembly and why it's interesting to Microsoft (and, why it might be interesting to you) with the #F5 crew @ospencer.dev and Joel Moses www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Heard from a developer today: "I ran out of AI credits and can't continue the task." It's concerning to see devs can't ship code without AI. Will this become the norm for the next generation? We're told AI gives us a productivity boost, but maybe we're becoming too dependent.

🎾 Nice combo for 2026! Spring I/O 2026 will take place the same week as the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, one of my favourite weeks of the year as a tennis lover. I never miss the tournament! If you join Spring I/O, you can also catch some world-class tennis right next door.

AI is reshaping the entry-level job market. Some junior roles might be disappearing but on the other hand, companies are desperate to add AI into their systems and workflows. And I believe that is a shortcut for new grads.

Still on Java 17 and planning to upgrade? ☕️ Skip 21 and go straight to 25. Java 25 provides memory efficiency gains and garbage collection improvements with zero code changes. Align it with your Spring Framework 7 / Spring Boot 4 upgrade. Strong recommendation by Juergen Hoeller.

Who else remembers going to the store to buy Spring Framework 1.0 on floppy disks with a 500-page manual? 😅 Ok, not really for Spring…But Spring Framework 7.0.0-M9 (last milestone) is out 🎉 no store trip needed, just update your dependencies and give it a spin.
