  • Abstract:
    Spring Integration enables lightweight messaging within Spring-based applications and supports integration with external systems via declarative adapters. It can also be used well in Microservices-style applications for asynchronous messaging and queuing, routing, load balancing, etc. ​
    In this Spring Integration talk, we will explore high level concepts through solid implementations in an effort to provide a comprehensive introductory level explanation of capabilities.
    Additionally, I will present a live sandbox demo of Spring Integration for audience collaboration. I will present live-build demo starting with start.spring.io and quickly prop something up in front of everyone. Together we will get a few services running, and do some mild tinkering.
    We’ll also go through a demo scenario where Marketing Company X sends data leads file and we will use Spring Integration to process the data from the email to load into a designated table.
