MINNEAPOLIS, April 8, 2025 — Perforce Software, the DevOps company for global teams seeking AI innovation at scale, today announced the availability of Long-Term Support (LTS) for Spring Boot and Spring Framework through its OpenLogic division. The new offering tackles a critical challenge for enterprise Java teams: maintaining secure, stable Spring applications amid an accelerated six-month release cadence.

Following the release of Spring Framework 6.0 and Spring Boot 3.0, the Spring ecosystem shifted to a time-based release model aligned with OpenJDK’s cadence. While this accelerates access to new features, it reduces support windows—typically to 12 to 18 months—forcing organizations to continuously test, validate, and deploy updates to maintain compliance.

“DevOps teams are caught between the need to innovate and the operational reality of managing complex Java environments. Organizations shouldn’t have to choose between rushing upgrades and accepting security risks. With Spring LTS, they can stay on stable versions longer while planning migrations strategically — with ample time to test, validate, and ensure compliance requirements are being met.”

— Matthew Weier O’Phinney, Principal Product Manager at Perforce OpenLogic

Extending Stability and Security Coverage

OpenLogic’s Spring LTS solution extends critical support for several popular versions:

  • Extends support for Spring Boot 2.7 and Spring Framework 5.3 through October 2027.
  • Coverage for Spring Boot 3.2 and Spring Framework 6.1 is scheduled to follow soon.
The offering provides guaranteed security patches for critical CVEs within 14 days and high-severity CVEs within 30 days, along with flexible options including premium support with one-hour response times and production deployment assistance.

Enabling Strategic Upgrades and Risk Reduction

OpenLogic offers a comprehensive Java solutions portfolio, including support for Spring, OpenJDK, and Tomcat, alongside professional services like migrations and consulting. This flexibility allows organizations in regulated industries or those managing hundreds of microservices to:

  • Align Spring upgrades with business priorities rather than mandatory community support timelines.
  • Reduce technical debt accumulation.
  • Enable better feature testing before adoption.

Real-World Impact: Saving 5,500 Hours of Work

“This customer faced a decision between investing two full quarters to upgrade their Spring-based infrastructure or gambling with their platform’s security and compliance posture. By adopting Spring Long-Term Support, they avoided both scenarios, saving an estimated 5,500 to 6,000 hours of unplanned work while maintaining security coverage and delivering mission-critical features on schedule.”

— Jeff Michael, Senior Director of Product Management at Perforce Software
