'But we have heard asks from the Spring developer community and think we can do more. 'Spring Boot framework is one of the most popular Java frameworks and it allows developers to easily build a microservice or web application,' Zhu said, referencing the Spring Boot Extension Pack that optimizes Spring development experience in VS Code. Speaking of Azure Spring Cloud, Zhu also noted a focus on Spring Boot end-to-end support. 'To address developer's need in this area, we plan to explore deeper integration with Kubernetes in general and interaction with different cloud services (such as Azure Spring Cloud),' Zhu said. GitHub Codespaces was spawned from the old Visual Studio Online project that provided ' cloud-hosted dev environments accessible from anywhere.'

He cited VS Code's remote development extensions and GitHub Codespaces as integral tools for improving the Java experience in the popular code editor. 'With cloud-native development approach, developers need to deal with microservices, cloud platforms, Kubernetes and so on.'

'Cloud-native has been one of the most popular topics recently in the software development industry,' said Nick Zhu, senior program manager, Developer Division.
