Spring Boot native images are all the rage now: faster startup, stable performance and optimized resource usage, what's not to like? But there are constraints and limitations, and migrating an existing app can be challenging, and lead to a slog of trial-and-error.

While the Spring Ahead-Of-Time compilation process can infer a lot about an application, it is not enough. There are general patterns to follow, and common pitfalls that can be avoided.

In this live demo, you will learn practical recipes for migrating an existing JVM-based Spring Boot application to native image, tips for improving your workflows, and how to measure the improvements Spring Native brings.

Ensuring that applications are secure is now high on most "Deploy to Prod" checklists. Spring Security is the de-facto standard in the Spring ecosystem, bringing robust security and sensible defaults to web apps. It is flexible enough to fit any use-case, thanks to a myriad of configuration options and innumerable extension points.

Newcomers to the library can feel lost when they step out of the "Getting Started" guides and need to fine-tune it to their specific use-case. Developers can find themselves frantically copy-pasting from Stack Overflow until it kinda-sorta works.

This talks aims to provide a useful method for understanding how Spring Security works, and where the extension points are. Through a theory (diagrams!) and practice (live coding!), you will get familiar with the general architecture, foundational patterns and common abstraction. You will understand how they are used in the library code, and how you can draw inspiration from them. And you will discover the latest and greatest from Spring Security 6.0!
