Micronaut Framework 4.4.0 Plan

[sdelamo]

On February 6, 2024, we released 4.3.0.
I have scheduled Micronaut Framework 4.4.0 for March 19th, 2024

4.4.0 Plan

Advocacy

Youtube Channel

Release ten videos of less than 15m for the YouTube channel covering features of the framework. We have to improve our presence on YouTube. Many people only learn with video nowadays.

Guides

Release 4 Guides comparing Micronaut Framework to Spring Boot. It is vital to show how easy it is to move from Spring Boot to Micronaut Framework.

New Modules

I think we may be able to release one new module
SourceGen.

Micronaut SourceGen provides a fork for JavaPoet with enhanced features and abstraction for performing source code generation across languages.

New Functionality

Integrate with HTMX

Speaking of Advocacy and Guides: are there any write-ups showcasing transition from Spring Boot to Micronaut? Any success stories from prominent clients? What are your compelling arguments for doing such a move?

I have a hard time trying to convince some people from my organization to adopt Micronaut..

We need more time for 4.4.0. Target date is now April 4th, 2024.
