In this article, you will learn about Azure Spring Cloud and its main features quickly and with ease, through a very down-to-earth approach.

What Made it Possible

Azure Spring Cloud is the natural consequence of Microsoft getting closer to the Java community over the last few years, on top of the fact that the Java ecosystem has been completely dominated by _Spring _for a long time now.

We can speculate that such a feat was only achievable thanks to the visionary leadership of Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO, deciding to treat *Java as a first-class citizen *rather than a nuisance or a competitor.

It’s quite likely that you already noticed this on your own, but if you didn’t, just think about the following:

• The @JavaAtMicrosoft twitter account regularly tweets about all things Java and Microsoft;
• The Microsoft Developer Blogs now include a “Java at Microsoft” section where articles and updates about Java development with Microsoft tools are often published;
• One of the most well-known Microsoft-maintained IDEs, Visual Studio Code, provides guides and extensions specific to Java development;
• Microsoft formally signed the Oracle Contributor Agreement and actively contributes to _OpenDJK _since 2019.

Microsoft *is not only actively engaged in the Java community, but also *does extensive usage of Javaitself, think about the fact that:

• LinkedIn consists of more than 500 Java microservices;
• Minecraft’s game client is written in Java;
• Yammer’s back-end is written in Java;
• Azure includes several cloud components that can be interacted with through Java applications, and some of these are even specific to Java applications;
• last but not least, Microsoft owns and maintains several Open Source Java projects, such as Spring Cloud Azure, that favor the integration of Java applications and Azure Cloud components!

6 out of 10 developers depend upon Spring for their applications!
