VMware Spring — Consulting, Support & Licensing

Expert Spring Framework Consulting, Support & Licensing for Enterprise Java

Q: What is VMware Spring and why do enterprises need commercial licensing?

VMware Spring is Broadcom's commercial offering for the Spring Framework ecosystem — providing Long-Term Support (LTS) releases, security patches beyond community support windows, and access to L3 engineering support. Enterprise teams running Spring Boot in production on extended timelines need Spring commercial licensing to ensure they receive security fixes and support beyond what the open-source community provides.

Q: What does Spring consulting from AceMQ include?

Our Spring consulting covers architecture design, Spring Boot best practices, Spring Cloud distributed systems, Spring Data persistence optimization, reactive programming (WebFlux), security configuration, performance tuning, legacy migration, and commercial licensing. Every Spring consulting engagement is staffed by a senior Java engineer with deep Spring Framework expertise.

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.

VMware Spring — the Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and the broader Spring ecosystem — powers the majority of enterprise Java applications worldwide. As a Broadcom Expert Advantage Partner of the Year, AceMQ provides expert Spring consulting, production support, and VMware Spring commercial licensing — helping teams modernize legacy applications, build cloud-native microservices, and get L3 support beyond what open-source communities offer.
