Microservices, containers, and Kubernetes help to free apps from infrastructure, enabling them to work independently and run anywhere. With VMware Tanzu, you can make the most of these cloud native patterns, automate the delivery of containerized workloads, and proactively manage apps in production. It’s all about freeing developers to do their thing: build great apps.

In a world where multiple applications and clients are calling your APIs, you end up having to create custom endpoints for different views of your data. What if you could provide fewer endpoints and let the consumer decide on which data they need.

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.

In this session, you will learn what GraphQL is and why you should consider it in your next project. You will learn how to use GraphQL in your Spring Boot applications by leveraging the Spring for GraphQL project. By the end of this session, you will understand how to stand up a GraphQL endpoint and request the data you need, and nothing more.

Introduction to Spring for GraphQL

Great news for cloud native application developers and DevOps teams!  VMware Tanzu Community Edition — the freely available open source distribution of VMware Tanzu that can be installed and configured in minutes on your local workstation or favorite cloud — has just added build automation capabilities. If you’re a developer, automating container image builds can save you time, eliminate worry, and free you to focus on writing application code.  And if you’re an operator, it can help you deliver containers more securely, reliably, and consistently at scale.
 
In this webinar, we’ll introduce you to the open source technologies at the heart of Kubernetes-based build automation, including kpack and Paketo buildpacks.  Next, you’ll see them in action together with other tools you’ll need to connect the dots of service delivery, all available in Tanzu Community Edition: we’ll use kpack to turn source code into container images; Harbor to sign images, scan them for vulnerabilities, and provide secure registry services; and Knative Serving to simplify deployment and running of services.  This is the open source solution you’ve been waiting for – join us to learn more!

Hi, Spring fans! It's 2022, a brand new year, and this year's going to be a big one! There's a lot in store - Spring Framework 6 and Spring Boot 3 and so much more. Join me, Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long (@starbuxman), and we'll look at a new Spring for a new year and new paradigms.

A New Spring for a New Year and New Paradigms

Production is the happiest place on earth, but the journey there is long and few make it. TechRepublic estimated in 2008 that 68 percent of software projects fail, and there’s nothing funny about that, so we’re going to talk about something else. Join VMware developer advocates Josh Long, Mark Heckler, Nate Schutta, Paul Czarkowski, Cora Iberkleid, and Tiffany Jernigan as we build software with Spring Boot and then explore one of computing’s hardest problems (after vertical layouts in CSS): designing and deploying for production on Kubernetes. (And yes, that’s #booternetes.)

Spring Cloud Data Flow is an integrated orchestration layer that provides a highly productive experience for deploying and managing sophisticated data pipelines consisting of standalone microservices. Building on the ease of development and deployment provided by Spring Boot and the cloud native capabilities of Spring Cloud, the Spring Cloud Stream and Spring Cloud Task projects provide a consistent and powerful framework for microservice-based stream and batch processing. In this webinar we’ll  introduce Spring Cloud Data Flow and related Spring projects and take a look at the architecture of a typical stream and batch application. We’ll also stand up Spring Cloud Data Flow itself, before deploying various event-streaming and batch applications to Kubernetes and monitoring their operation.

Product teams use “Minimum Viable Products” (MVPs) to deliver value to customers quickly by focusing on a specific problem and the smallest possible solution. But how can teams and product leaders know when to move onto the next most valuable thing?

Find out how to foster continuous innovation across your product portfolio by:
- Using modern tools to determine when an MVP feature-set is successful
- Revisiting insights from initial discovery to quickly build actionable backlogs
- Orienting product releases toward business outcomes to align product priorities within and across teams

At VMware Pivotal Labs, we’ve seen how MVPs can help product teams gather valuable feedback quickly from their customers. In this webinar, Dani Sandoval will share how User-Centered Design (UCD) techniques can be used by product team members and leadership to respond to feedback quickly and maximize the business value for every release.

Spring has always encouraged developers to leverage the technologies that best solves their business use cases. Kubernetes is emerging as a very popular platform for running cloud native applications, and Spring makes it quite easy to take advantage of all it has to offer in order to run your applications on this powerful platform. This year at our Spring One Tour events, we are holding an entire three hour workshop on this very topic. In this webinar, we are going to not only preview the workshop, but leave you with the knowledge to get started running Spring apps on Kubernetes. By the time the webinar is over you will have the opportunity and the knowledge to work through the workshop yourself and get started running Spring apps on Kubernetes.

In this talk, your friendly neighborhood Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long (@starbuxman) introduces you to the ground-floor basics of building reactive applications with Spring. 

You’ll learn about Reactor, the Reactive Streams specification, and how to build reactive pipelines. We’ll learn about reactive SQL and NoSQL data-access.  We’ll look at how to build reactive HTTP and websocket-centric services with Spring and Spring Boot. 

This installment is part one of three.

Introduction to Reactive Spring (Part One)

Streaming applications are all the rage these days because they open up exciting, new use cases. Every streaming application demands a common set of capabilities. The most critical of all is reliability of the events delivery and processing. But what does reliable processing entail? How do you build a streaming pipeline that’s responsive to performance changes in a distributed system? That’s where the reactor back-pressure comes into the picture.

Join Pivotal Platform Architect Madhav Sathe and Pivotal Principal Software Engineer Marcial Rosales for this online class as they walk you through the ingredients of building streaming pipelines. You’ll learn:

● An overview of what Project Reactor is and how it works.
● How Project Reactor makes it possible to build an end-to-end streaming pipeline.
● How to use RabbitMQ’s native reactive support and Project Reactor to build stateful streaming transformations.
● How to demonstrate backpressure across multiple distributed systems in this architecture.
● How this stack is being used to solve real use cases.

We look forward to you joining us.

How to Build Reliable Streaming Pipelines with RabbitMQ and Project Reactor

Folks are eager to adopt microservices in order to scale and iterate code faster. Microservices architectures offer a means to safely decouple parts of an application into smaller, more independent units. But adopting a microservices architecture means increasing the number of services communicating via API calls. This introduces the need for API gateways.

API gateways aren’t new, but as cloud-native infrastructure evolves, the requirements for API gateways have changed, too. Today, developers are looking for a gateway that runs close to their application to minimize latency, supports reversions to earlier versions, and operates like any other Spring Boot application. Spring Cloud Gateway deploys independently as a Spring Boot app, integrates with Spring Cloud Service Discovery and Spring Cloud Security, and uses familiar tools for observability and resilience. 

Join Chris Sterling, Pivotal Product Manager, and Brian McClain, Pivotal Tech Marketer, to learn:

● How to set up a basic route using Spring Cloud Gateway
● How to expose the gateway on the network without exposing the services
● How to use Spring Cloud Security to authenticate users at the gateway
● How Pivotal Spring Cloud Gateway makes it easier to operate, upgrade, dynamically configure with no downtime, and more 

We look forward to you joining us.
