EP 12: Being a Spring Contributor + Spring Cloud AWS (ft. Maciej Walkowiak)

Did you know that there is a whole world of people that contribute to the Spring community without working directly on the Spring team? As a community-grounded effort, Spring encourages people from around the globe to participate in all kinds of ways to build something better.   Maciej Walkowiak (https://twitter.com/maciejwalkowiak) leads the Spring Cloud for AWS project, among his many contributions to Spring. He has been using and contributing to Spring for over 14 years. He even founded the Spring Academy to to help developers learn the fundamentals of Spring Boot and Hibernate.   Join us today as we learn from one of the most active contributors what it's like to work in such a community-oriented effort!   ====  Want to get a free tech e-book, be alerted to my discounts, and get even MORE content about SPRING BOOT?
