SPRING MODULITH TIGHTENS MESSAGE ORDERING WITH BLOCKING OUTBOX

Spring Modulith shipped a critical fix for outbox message sequencing that blocks on externalization to guarantee ordering, solving a race condition that could silently corrupt event streams.

The outbox implementation now uses blocking externalization instead of the previous async approach [1]. This matters because event ordering is non-negotiable in distributed systems, and the old CompletableFuture pattern could allow later messages to be persisted before earlier ones when load spikes hit. Spring Tools picked up a fix for path matching predicates in web config parsing [2], which sharpens code lens accuracy when developers are wiring up endpoints. On maintenance, Spring Modulith also bumped its GitHub Actions to current versions [3], keeping CI/CD from drifting into deprecated runner territory. Spring LDAP continues its steady build chain updates with an Antora bump [4], purely documentation plumbing.

Action items

→ Review outbox event ordering in Spring Modulith implementations before next production deploy spring-projects/spring-modulith [plan]
→ Update to latest Spring Tools for improved path matching diagnostics spring-projects/spring-tools [monitor]
