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. Currently, there is no replacement for STDG and directions to transition. + +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.
