2h workshop from Laurent Broudoux & Mauricio Salatino yesterday at Spring I/O 2026! 🚀
It was not a full house, but deeply engaged developers from large organizations who clearly know the "enterprise pains" we discussed all too well. It was great to see such a focused group looking for real-world solutions to modern infrastructure and AI challenges 🍃

Day 2 at Spring I/O 2026 is off to an incredible start! 🚀
We just saw some mind-blowing live demos from Josh Long in the "Bootiful Spring AI" session.
A standout takeaway from James Ward today: "MCP is really of use for the enterprise".
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is clearly becoming the bridge that connects enterprise data with the power of LLMs.
💡 That’s exactly why we built reShapr. Take a look: https://github.com/reshaprio/reshapr
Wednesday at #SpringIO Barcelona: Tim te Beek and I are running a hands-on workshop — "Prepare Your Next Spring Boot Migration."
Spring Boot 4 brings Hibernate 7, Jakarta EE 11, Spring Security 7 along for the ride. When you look at your services, it becomes a metro map of interconnected upgrades (https://mboegie.dev/manual/metro-plan). That's why migrations need a coordinated approach, not isolated team efforts.
You'll work with 8 realistic microservices and learn the staged workflow with OpenRewrite.
Ready for Spring I/O 2026 🚀
Excited to dive into the latest in tech, connect with brilliant minds, and bring back fresh ideas. Let’s go! 🌱💡
Putting the final touches on my upcoming #SpringIO and #KotlinConf talk "Idiomatic Kotlin applications with Spring Boot 4" where I will share all my guidelines for build, logging, observability, persistence, etc.
Should be useful both for human developers and agentic engineering workflows.
