Grails 8 lets an ordinary Spring Boot application use Groovy Server Pages as its view layer, with no Grails application around it. We build a small quest board with SiteMesh layouts, a Groovy tag library and the asset pipeline, then compare it with the same app in Thymeleaf.
Chrome disables the unload event on 80% of page loads from 25 August 2026. See who’s affected, how to find your handlers, and the fix for each use-case.

A complete, runnable Java tutorial: build a multi-step AI agent with Spring AI 2.0 and Spring Boot 4.1 that calls live UK Parliament APIs, grounds every claim in a citation, and refuses to state anything it can’t back up — covering the grounding, safety, testing and cost concerns most tutorials skip.
Streaming an LLM token-by-token is easy to demo and hard to ship. Here’s the whole path — a Spring Boot SSE backend and a Next.js frontend — with the four things the demos skip solved: heartbeats, Last-Event-ID resume, upstream cancellation, and defeating proxy buffering.
~6x throughput at 2,500 concurrent users from one flag — until the HikariCP connection pool became the limiter. A focused, reproducible Spring Boot 4 virtual threads benchmark.
Practical strategies to scale Spring Boot: optimise code and DB, use caching and virtual threads, tune thread pools, load-balance and monitor performance.
