VMware Spring — Consulting, Support & Licensing

VMware Tanzu Spring Consulting & Support

Q: Can you help migrate from Spring 5 to Spring 6 / Spring Boot 3?

Yes. Spring Boot 3 and Spring Framework 6 require Java 17 minimum and migrated to the Jakarta EE namespace (javax.* → jakarta.*). We handle the full migration: namespace updates, dependency upgrades, Spring Security 6 changes, deprecated API removal, and validation of your application against the new baseline.

Q: What Spring Boot performance issues can you diagnose?

We diagnose and resolve a full range of Spring Boot performance issues: slow startup times, high memory consumption, N+1 database query problems, thread pool exhaustion, event loop blocking in WebFlux applications, GC pressure, and connection pool starvation. Our engineers use production profiling tools (async-profiler, JFR, VisualVM) alongside Spring Actuator metrics.

Q: Do you support Spring on Kubernetes?

Yes. We deploy Spring Boot applications on Kubernetes with production-ready configurations: resource requests/limits, readiness and liveness probes, graceful shutdown, Spring Cloud Kubernetes for config and service discovery, and container-optimized JVM settings (UseContainerSupport, -XX:MaxRAMPercentage).

Q: What is Spring LTS and do I need it?

Spring Framework and Spring Boot provide Long-Term Support releases with commercial backing from Broadcom. LTS releases receive security patches and bug fixes for an extended period beyond the standard community support window. If your organization has compliance requirements or cannot upgrade Spring versions on a 6-month community support cadence, Spring LTS licensing is essential.

Q: How do I get a Spring commercial support quote?

Contact AceMQ and we'll provide a Spring commercial licensing quote within 24 hours. As a Broadcom Expert Advantage Partner, we have direct access to Spring Portfolio pricing and can structure subscription terms that match your application footprint and support requirements.

Q: Can you help implement Spring Security with OAuth2 and OIDC?

Yes. We implement Spring Security OAuth2 Resource Server, Authorization Server, and OIDC Login configurations — integrating with Keycloak, Okta, Azure AD, and AWS Cognito. We also handle JWT token validation, scope-based authorization, and method-level security annotations across complex enterprise applications.

AceMQ's 11+ senior Java engineers have modernized Spring applications for 130+ enterprise customers across 26 countries. As Broadcom's #1 VMware Partner in the Americas, we deliver Spring consulting, production support, and VMware Spring commercial licensing.

Our Services

Spring Consulting & Support

Every engagement is staffed by a senior Spring engineer — no juniors, no ticket queues.

Spring Boot Architecture & Microservices Design

We design Spring Boot application architectures that are modular, testable, and operationally sound — from clean module boundaries to production-ready health endpoints.

Multi-module Spring Boot project structure and dependency management
Constructor injection, configuration classes, and condition annotations
Spring Boot Auto-Configuration customization for production deployments
Actuator endpoint configuration for observability and health monitoring

Spring Cloud & Distributed Systems

We implement Spring Cloud patterns for resilient, observable distributed systems — service discovery, API gateway, circuit breaker, config server, and distributed tracing.

Spring Cloud Gateway: routing rules, rate limiting, and request transformation
Spring Cloud Config Server with Git backend for centralized configuration
Resilience4j circuit breaker and bulkhead pattern implementation
Distributed tracing with Spring Cloud Sleuth, Zipkin, and Jaeger

Spring Data & Persistence Optimization

We implement Spring Data repositories for relational and NoSQL databases — optimizing query performance, connection pooling, and transaction management across your persistence stack.

Spring Data JPA: entity design, query optimization, and N+1 detection
Spring Data Redis: caching configuration, Redisson integration, TTL policies
HikariCP connection pool tuning for high-throughput Spring services
Transaction management: distributed transactions and saga pattern implementation

Spring Performance & Reactive Programming

We optimize Spring Boot applications for throughput and latency — from startup time to reactive WebFlux non-blocking I/O for high-concurrency workloads.

Spring WebFlux migration from blocking MVC for high-concurrency endpoints
Project Reactor: Flux/Mono composition, backpressure, and error handling
Spring Boot startup optimization: lazy initialization, AOT compilation, virtual threads
JVM tuning: heap sizing and GC selection (G1, ZGC) for Spring microservices

Spring Migration & Legacy Modernization

We migrate legacy Spring XML configurations to modern Spring Boot, upgrade from Spring 5 to Spring 6, and decompose monolithic applications into microservices.

Spring XML to annotation-driven Spring Boot migration
Spring Boot 2.x to 3.x upgrade with Jakarta EE namespace migration
Monolith to microservices decomposition using the Strangler Fig pattern
Spring Security upgrade and OAuth2/OIDC modernization

How Our Support Actually Works

Beyond SLAs — the model behind senior-only, zero-cold-start expert access.

Named Engineers on Your Account

Every ticket is handled by a senior SME assigned to your account — not a pool of anonymous agents. Zero cold-start. No re-explaining your environment.

Live Escalation on Any Ticket

Any ticket can be escalated to a live session with your named engineer via calendar booking. No gatekeeping, no approval required — direct access, always.

Proactive Risk Mitigation

Quarterly health checks on your deployment plus shared intelligence from 50+ support customers — we surface risks before they reach production.

Critical Bug & CVE Intelligence

Proactive alerts on critical bugs and CVEs affecting your exact version, with version compliance monitoring so you're never caught off guard.

Licensing & Security Edge

Dedicated support for vendor license negotiations and compliance audits, plus bi-annual security reviews focused on your specific deployment.

Direct Product Roadmap Access

As the only vendor directly connected to the core engineering teams, AceMQ delivers exclusive early insights, strategic upgrade planning, and curated release summaries — tailored to your environment.
