Spring Boot Integration

The 3.3.2 release will be incorporated into the upcoming Spring Boot 3.4.2. Additionally, this version will be included in the Spring Boot 3.5.x line and will ship with the upcoming Spring Boot 3.5.0-M1 release.

Looking Ahead to the Next Major Version of Spring for Apache Kafka

Development of Spring for Apache Kafka 4.0.x will commence in the near future. This major version will be built on Kafka Client 4.0.x, Spring Framework 7.0.x and will be compatible with Spring Boot 4.0.x. We encourage community involvement through feature requests, bug reports, and general feedback.
