Boots Made for Walking: Spring Hygiene in the Enterprise

“Spring Boot has a new release every 6 months. Your organization has hundreds (thousands? tens of thousands?) of Spring Boot applications owned by nearly as many separate teams. Those teams each have diverse priorities, and hygiene is usually not at the top of the list.
How do you compel those teams to stay up-to-date? What are the real costs and benefits? And what if those apps aren't ““quite”” Spring Boot, but actually an in-house framework built on top?
Hint: OpenRewrite helps a bunch.

This session approaches these questions from experience inside JPMorgan Chase, a technology organization of 50k people, 17b annual spend, and a whole lotta Spring Boot.
