Spring Framework 6: Strategic Themes By Juergen Hoeller, Sébastien Deleuze

The general availability of Spring Framework 6.0 kicked off a new generation of the framework for 2023 and beyond: with a JDK 17 and Jakarta EE 9 baseline, featuring AOT processing and a general revision of the Spring web stack. Spring Framework 6.1 embraces JDK 21 and Project CRaC now and follows up with a general revision of Spring's data binding and validation facilities. This talk discusses the overall themes for the Spring Framework 6 generation, with an emphasis on the range of scale-to-zero options for common Spring web applications.

I thought Java 21 is not an LTS release??

[@SunKing2]

A few years ago the LTS after 17 was supposed to be Java 23, but it has since been modified, and the LTS releases went from every 3 years to every 2 years. Java 21 is definitely a LTS.

[@lobaorn]

@@SunKing2, a clarification: JDK and Java do not have LTS anymore. The vendors have LTS releases and will probably follow Oracle LTS's choice of 21, 25, 29, and so on. It's a slight distinction but essential.

what is the point of reactive and completable future support if you move to virtual threads? nonsense
