Use Thymeleaf Templates with Spring WebFlux to Secure Your Apps
The Thymeleaf library has been around at least for 10 years and it is still actively maintained as of today. It is designed to allow stronger collaboration between design and developer teams for some use cases, as Thymeleaf templates look like HTML and can be displayed in the browser as static prototypes. In this tutorial you will learn how to create a simple Spring WebFlux application with Thymeleaf and Okta OIDC authentication, addressing the security...
How to Prevent Reactive Java Applications from Stalling
Modern applications must work smoothly on high loads and with a high number of concurrent users. Traditional Java applications run blocking code and a common approach for scaling is to increase the number of available threads. When latency comes into the picture, many of these additional threads sit idle, wasting resources. A different approach increases efficiency by writing asynchronous non-blocking code that lets the execution switch to another task while the asynchronous process completes. Project...

Spring Boot 2.1 was recently released, eight months after the huge launch of Spring Boot 2.0. The reason I’m most excited about Spring Boot 2.1 to me is its improved performance and OpenID Connect (OIDC) support from Spring Security 5.1. The combination of Spring Boot and Spring Security has provided excellent OAuth 2.0 support for years, and making OIDC a first-class citizen simplifies its configuration quite a bit. For those that aren’t aware, OIDC is...
