Spring Boot 4 is moving to Jackson 3 (already in M3).

👉 Check out the Jackson 3 Migration Guide: github.com/FasterXML/ja...

👉 Also useful, the OpenRewrite recipe: docs.openrewrite.org/recipes/java...

Tried the new Sonnet 4.5 with Junie, it consumes considerably more quota than GPT5 and the quality gains aren’t clear enough, not worth the change as of now.

The @springio.net 2026 website is coming along nicely and CFP will open soon.

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.

I’ve been setting up GitHub self-hosted runners lately to execute jobs from GH Actions.

My current client has many security and compliance requirements, this allows having full control over the environment, using any hardware, lower costs and even accessing resources behind a VPN.

You can learn 100 JavaScript frameworks…
or you can learn Java and Spring once, and it’ll pay you back for years. 💚

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.

The 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. 🧐
