Temporal Activities as Spring Beans (an Addendum)

This is a quick little addendum to last week’s post on Spring and Temporal. In last week’s post I covered a range of different ways to use the Spring Framework with Temporal that included leveraging abstractions for making HTTP calls, and using the Spring Boot Maven plugin to build fat jars. But the topic that […]

Spring Boot and Temporal

I’m a Spring Boot fan And I am not alone. Spring is objectively the most popular Java framework out there, and in this year’s SpringOne keynote, Purnima Padmanabhan, the General Manager and VP of the VMware Tanzu division – the place where the biggest part of the Spring team lives – reported that 46% of enterprise […]

This is a test (to be followed by some Cloud Foundry love)

Oh my, is it possible that It’s been more than three months since I posted here? In my defense, I have another blog that I now post on – well, a few actually, including blog.gopivotal.com and blog.cloudfoundry.org. I’ll post a summary of my recent submissions with links soon. I am, in fact, about to go […]

Here’s the longer: First, for those of you who might be unfamiliar with quotas, they are assigned to organizations and basically limit consumption within that organization.  A quota definition […]
