A recent update to Apache Tomcat introduced a subtle but significant change to how TLS cipher suites are configured. If your Spring Boot application explicitly configures TLS ciphers, particularly TLSv1.3 ciphers, and runs on Tomcat 9.0.115+ (Spring Boot 2.x), 10.1.52+ (Spring Boot 3.x), or 11.0.18+ (Spring Boot 4.x), your cipher configuration may be silently ignored.โ€ฆ...

#Concurrency bugs rarely fail loudly โ€” they leak resources, stall requests, & waste CPU. @BalaRawool demonstrates how #StructuredConcurrency can short-circuit failures and keep workflows consistent in #SpringBoot.

After some bumps with Jackson (no surprise there), I got JitterTicket upgraded from #SpringBoot 3.5 to the new Spring Boot 4.0.3!

Thank goodness for tests: they caught a change in defaults for date/time serialization.

Could've been smoother, so I'll have a longer writeup on it.
