Spring is an open source integration framework for Java applications. It began in 2002 as an alternative to EJB and has since expanded into a full application development framework. It provides core features like inversion of control (IoC) and dependency injection (DI) and supports various web frameworks, data access technologies, messaging, and cloud technologies. The Spring community has grown significantly in recent years, with over 15 million projects generated from start.spring.io in 2019 alone.

Distribute Your App and Engage Your Community with a Helm RepositoryVMware Tanzu

Tomas Pizarro Moreno presented best practices for maintaining a Helm chart repository. He discussed storing charts in services like AWS S3, GitHub Pages, or Harbor. It is important to thoroughly test charts by running linting, installing with different configurations, and performing verification and functional tests. Charts also need ongoing maintenance like keeping dependent Docker images up-to-date and addressing user feedback. Finally, charts should be published to directories like Helm Hub to make them discoverable.

Developers Are Users, TooVMware Tanzu

This document discusses conducting user research for an API management product. It outlines the research process of empathizing with users through interviews and personas, defining problems by synthesizing findings, ideating solutions through design studios, and prototyping and testing solutions. The research uncovered that API consumers want easy discovery and secure access to APIs without involving operations. It also found that API managers want observability into API usage. Outcomes of the research included API discovery and documentation pages and secure access pages. The value of user research is building empathy, validating assumptions, and providing structured feedback.
