This Week in Spring (AI) - May 27th, 2025
Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! This time, I'm talking to you after an insane week behind me. Last week I flew from San Francisco to Stockholm, Sweden where I was the speaker for the JForum event, a monthly meetup. Spring drew the largest audience to JForum since before the pandemic! Then, it was off to beautiful Barcelona for the fantastic Spring I/O event, where I did a keynote with Dr Mark Pollack on Spring AI, then hosted a joint talk with Spring cofounders Rod Johnson and Juergen Hoeller. Then, I did a joint talk with GraalVM found and Oracle vice…
Repository Vector Search Methods
The emergence of Large Language Models (LLM) has propelled Generative AI and surfaced one of its key components to a broad audience: Embeddings.
Embeddings are a vector representation of data in a high-dimensional space capturing their semantic meaning. Vector representations allow for more efficient and effective search (Vector Search) of similar items. Vector search is typically used to build Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and so there is demand for vector databases.
While new vector databases are on the rise, existing database engines are gradually incorporating vector search…

Spring Data Ahead of Time Repositories
In the past couple of years we have seen heavy investment throughout the Java ecosystem to reduce application startup times. The main focus gravitates around Ahead-of-Time optimizations. May it be condensing code into a GraalVM native executable, capturing already optimized bytecode with Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint (CRaC), Class Data Sharing (CDS) or its more recent successor AOT cache (part of project Leyden). While barriers to entry vary between the different approaches, all of them move performance optimizations away from runtime into an earlier phase, such as build time or a separate…
