Developer tools have changed wildly over the past 10 years from build tools to IDEs. The IDEs available have not only increased, but usage of each has grown. In this episode, Richard & Coté talk with Martin Lippert about Spring Tools 4. And, as always, we cover some recent news in the cloud, infrastructure, and development spaces, plus, the squirrels of Coté's yard.

News

• Spring Boot goes 2.0. Huge release and first major revision in 4 years.

• GitHub survives 1.3 Tbps DDos attack. Resolved in minutes. After our security discussion last week, a reminder that DDoS protection is part of your security strategy.

• VMware might just have cracked the container market with NSX. Strangely positive piece from El Reg. Looks like VMware isn’t going to go down quietly.

  • "...execs announced NSX now has an annual run rate of $1.6bn."

  • "VMware has started to see customers buy its NSX network virtualization software just to put it to work with the Pivotal Container Service."

• The Kubernetes Lesson, Stephen O'Grady, RedMonk. And subsequent "it was never about developers" talk. Coté wants to make a presentation, send him his slides.
