Spring Projects
A portfolio of Spring projects covering configuration, security, web applications and big
Spring Projects is a collection of modular Java projects covering configuration, security, web applications, data access, messaging, and distributed systems. Projects are modular by design, so developers can adopt only the components an application needs. The portfolio includes Spring Boot, Spring Framework, Spring Cloud, Spring AI, Spring Data, Spring Security, Spring Integration, Spring Batch, and foundational projects such as Micrometer and Project Reactor.
Spring Framework provides core support for dependency injection, transaction management, web apps, data access, and messaging. Spring Boot offers an opinionated way to build Spring applications, while Spring Data provides a consistent approach to relational, non-relational, and map-reduce data access. Spring Cloud supplies tools for common distributed-system patterns, Spring AI addresses connecting enterprise data and APIs with AI models, and Spring Security handles authentication and authorization. Additional projects cover GraphQL, gRPC, session management, LDAP, Kafka, Pulsar, AMQP, REST documentation, and more. Security advisories are published per project with severity, CVE ID, and fix versions.
The projects are aimed at Java developers building applications of varying scope, from small services to distributed systems. Tanzu Spring offers support and binaries for OpenJDK, Spring, and Apache Tomcat through a subscription, and Enterprise support provides day 0 access to security patches.
