Keynote
summary
Spring ecosystem moves to a Java 8 baseline (Spring Framework 5) and Spring Boot 2.0 ships March 2018 while Spring Framework 5.1 prepares for Java 11 compatibility and Spring Boot 2.1 targets a September cadence. Micrometer becomes the new metrics facade, Kotlin gets first‑class support, property binding is rewritten, the health endpoint is simplified, CI migrates to Concourse, and guidance is to build against Java 8 and run on JDK 11 for the smoothest upgrade path. AdoptOpenJDK offers free long‑term builds.
