Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 01/07/2026Spent 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! 0113
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 20/04/2026We even had a new hairdresser service for speakers at @springio.net this year. @alina-yurenko.bsky.social @kehrlann.bsky.social 1182
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 20/04/2026And mark your calendars: we'll be back next year (28-30 April 2027), and it's going to be even better. See you in 2027 in Valencia! 💚 040
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 20/04/2026As an organizer, I spend the entire conference running from room to room, fixing things, and occasionally forgetting to eat lunch 😅. Which means I miss a lot of moments that make this event what it is. So I’d really love to hear from you. What made Spring I/O special for you? 110
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 20/04/2026Thank you to every speaker, sponsor, volunteer, and attendee who showed up and made it happen. You are Spring I/O! 💚 120
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 20/04/2026And 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. 160
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 12/04/2026Oh no!!! There was no need to break your shoulder if you wanted to flex and do a single hand coding demo! Wanted to follow the trend? Safe travels and see you tomorrow! 140
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 04/03/2026Thank 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! 020
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 02/03/2026I'll be delivering a "Building AI Agents with Spring AI" workshop tomorrow at Talent Arena, still time to register: talentarena.tech/agenda-2026/ 020
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 15/01/2026Really loving the new featured speakers section on the Spring I/O 2026 website 💚 To be released soon. 110
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 18/12/2025Yesterday we welcomed Joel Almar Jiménez into our family ❤️ Both mom and baby are doing great! 15330
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 21/11/2025My city's citizen portal is using the GitHub logo for pet services. Cats are required to send a PR to get registered. 130
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 18/11/2025🎾 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. 020
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 10/10/2025Spring Boot 4 with Brian Clozel and @snicoll.be #DevoxxBE 090
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 09/10/2025Full house in Rod Johnson session on building agents with Embabel. Repo: github.com/embabel/emba... #DevoxxBE 000
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 09/10/2025Spring Shell running on the browser thanks to WebAssembly, cool demos by @fniephaus.com Repo: github.com/graalvm/graa... #DevoxxBE 0114
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 08/10/202530 years of Java. #1 language in overall enterprise organizational use #DevoxxBE 040
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 16/09/2025Still 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. 043
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 11/09/2025Who 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. 1112
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 11/09/2025The Spring Debugger from @intellijidea.com autodetects your datasources and registers them into the Database tool window. This is particularly helpful when testing with Testcontainers. It gives you instant database inspection, no setup. Super handy. 🧐 0143
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 10/09/2025The auditorium for the next edition of Spring I/O looks dope!! Can't wait! 0200
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 05/09/2025I’m still surprised by how much XML shows up in the Spring Framework docs in 2025. For newcomers, it might look like XML is the recommended approach, but annotation-based and Java-based configuration have been the norm for years. Heard it many times in my trainings. 390
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 04/09/2025Continuing with the Spring optimization journey, Spring Data 4.0 goes full speed ahead with AOT repositories 🚀. Now your repository query methods are converted to actual source code at build time and compiled together with your application. 064
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 03/09/2025Kubernetes Will Solve YAML Headaches with KYAML thenewstack.io/kubernetes-i... 010
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 03/09/2025Over 80% of YC S25 startups are AI companies 🤯 I’m glad frameworks like Spring AI exist, making it possible to build AI applications without leaving the JVM. That lowers the barrier for thousands of Java/Spring developers to join this wave. 100
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 02/09/2025My Spring Boot apps expose plenty of metrics through Micrometer + Prometheus, but I'm really bad at creating Grafana dashboards.📈 I’ve been experimenting with the MCP server for Grafana and now instead of hand-crafting dashboards, I just ask: "Generate an HTTP dashboard for me": 140
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 01/09/2025If you’re starting your Spring AI journey, don’t start from scratch! This awesome repo is packed with examples, projects, and resources to get you started quickly. 1113
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 29/08/2025🚀 Your Spring app could start up way faster. With AOT Cache (introduced in Java 24) + Spring AOT, startup times drop like magic. Curious how much you can gain? 👇 0125
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 28/08/2025The next few months are going to be very interesting for Java / Spring devs. Java 25 is just 19 days away and can't wait to upgrade. I know some of you might still be on Java 8, but remember, as @starbuxman.joshlong.com says, Java 25 will be +3x better than Java 8! 081
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 11/07/2025Just received a message that made my day. I've been teaching Spring for the last +16 years and welcoming newcomers to the Spring ecosystem. This kind of feedback means a lot 💚. 150
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 03/06/2025If you couldn't make it to @springio.net 2025, here's what you missed! Save the dates for Spring I/O 2026 🍃: 13-15 April, Barcelona. 082
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 01/06/2025Thank you to everyone who made this edition so special 💚 📍Next year, we’re moving to a new venue. I’ll miss the place we’ve called home since 2018, but change brings fresh energy! Spring I/O 2026 (13-15 April) is already taking shape, and I can’t wait to see you there. #springio26 020
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 01/06/2025It usually takes me a week to decompress after @springio.net, maybe more as I get older 😅. Spring I/O has exceeded my expectations one more year. Every session, every hallway chat, every spontaneous moment reminded me why this community is so special. 1132
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 25/05/2025After the ride, a well-deserved wine tasting with local flavors and great conversations. A perfect way to unwind after the conference. Thanks to all the speakers who joined, I love sharing these moments with you. 💚 050
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 25/05/2025The classical Spring I/O Bike & Wine! 🚴🍷 Yesterday we took a break from the city and headed to the peaceful vineyards of Penedès area with our Spring I/O speakers. A scenic bike ride through the green Penedès wine region, surrounded by nature and vines. 1100
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 21/05/2025Setting everything up, it's all coming together! #springio25 1130
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 19/05/2025It's that week of the year... Spring I/O 2025 is here! 🍃 After months of intense work, late nights and a thousand moving pieces… I usually arrive at the conference week running low on energy. But the moment Spring I/O starts, everything changes... 160
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 07/04/2025The 3rd edition of @wasm.io exceeded all my expectations, the amazing WebAssembly community brings the energy year after year. High-quality sessions with invaluable hallway conversations. Huge thanks to everyone who made it possible: attendees, speakers, sponsors, staff and volunteers! #wasmio25 1136
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 04/04/2025First time I'm getting a job offered about WebAssembly on LinkedIn 1100
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 28/03/2025Now Fabio Niephaus and Patrick Ziegler compiling JVM bytecode into Wasm at #wasmio25 @wasm.io 😎 0111
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 26/03/2025Everything ready for Wasm I/O tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting the WebAssembly community! 070
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 15/03/2025Java history aligns perfectly this year with @springio.net 2025! Java turns 30 on 23rd May, which will be the second day of the conference. How should we celebrate? #Java30 Thanks for the reminder @dgomezg.bsky.social. 0114
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 04/03/2025Full house in @tzolov.bsky.social's talk on Spring AI agents. 191
Sergi Almar @sergialmar.com · 04/03/2025What a great audience at our workshop "Building Smart Agents with MCP and Spring AI!" The best part? That wow moment when everyone realizes just how easy it is to build powerful AI agents with Spring AI #TalentArena2025 @tzolov.bsky.social 0111
