S5E28 - Community Potluck

Join Dan Vega and DaShaun Carter for the latest updates from the Spring Ecosystem. This week is a potluck episode. We're setting the planned topics aside and answering your questions. We'll dig into the new JSON API coming to the JDK and what it means for Jackson. We'll talk about taking Spring AI apps to production, from guardrails to cost control. We'll cover keeping up with CVEs and upgrades, and finish with a lightning round of career questions. Bring your questions to the live chat, or send one ahead of time at springofficehours.io/ask. You can participate in our live stream to ask questions or catch the replay on your preferred podcast platform.
