Spring Cloud's open-source components are incredibly powerful—they provide robust foundations for service
discovery, configuration management, API routing, and data pipelines right out of the box. Many developers have
been relying on these open source projects for years to build cloud native applications that hundreds of millions
of people use every day. As with any open source project, using Spring Cloud in production often requires extra
effort to conform to additional standards around security, resiliency, and management capabilities. In some cases
it makes sense to build the necessary capabilities yourself, but what if there is a done-for-you solution that takes
the open source Spring Cloud components and allows you to bring them to production out of the box. Enter the
Spring Cloud offerings from VMware Tanzu Platform. With API Gateway, Tanzu Data Flow, and Application
Services on Tanzu Platform, you get all the power of open source Spring Cloud with production-ready
capabilities like integrated OAuth2/JWT security, advanced rate limiting, visual pipeline editors, and managed
service instances—ready to go for all your production use cases. This code-centric session will explore both the
open source and commercial Spring Cloud offerings through real-world scenarios, so no matter which route you
choose, you will have all the knowledge you need to build secure, scalable applications faster.
