15 Years of Spring: Evolving a Java Application Framework
summary
Framework starts as a book prototype and becomes a runnable ecosystem, with 0.9 released June 2003 and fifteen years of evolution across five JDK generations. XML gives way to annotations (2.5, 2007) and Java config moves into core (3.0); Spring Boot and Spring Cloud co-evolve for cloud and microservice needs. Spring 4 embraces JDK 8 features and Spring 5 adds Kotlin-first APIs and WebFlux reactive stack based on Project Reactor, nonblocking and runnable on Netty.
