VMware GemFire forked from the Apache Geode project and is not open source. +Additionally, newer Apache Geode and VMware GemFire clients are not backwards compatible with older Apache Geode +and VMware GemFire servers. You can begin the transition by starting https://docs.vmware.com/en/Spring-Boot-for-VMware-GemFire/index.html[here]. + +Alternatively, the Spring portfolio provides first-class https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/io.html#io.caching.provider[integration] +with other comparable caching providers. Also, see https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/reference/html/integration.html#cache-store-configuration[here] +and https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/reference/html/integration.html#cache-plug[here]. + +Finally, keep in mind, the Spring for Apache Geode projects will still be maintained until OSS and commercial support +ends. Maintenance will only include CVE and critical fixes. No new features or major enhancements will be made. +The Spring Boot for Apache Geode support timelines can be viewed https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot#support[here]. +Also see the https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot-data-geode/wiki/Spring-Boot-for-Apache-Geode-and-VMware-Tanzu-GemFire-Version-Compatibility-Matrix[Version Compatibility Matrix] +for up-to-date dependency and version details. + +[[notice-2022-october]] +*2022-October-24*: + +See the October 24th https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-geode#notice[NOTICE] +on the _Spring Data for Apache Geode_ GitHub project page for complete details. + [[project-features]] === Project Features
