Don't Forget to Update Spring Cloud Version When Upgrading Spring Cloud Gateway

Hey everyone,

Today, I'd like to share a quick tip for those of you who are upgrading Spring Cloud Gateway in your projects. It's important to remember that when you upgrade Spring Cloud Gateway, you also need to update the Spring Cloud version to ensure compatibility.

Here's why:

Spring Cloud Gateway relies on specific features and dependencies provided by Spring Cloud. If you upgrade Spring Cloud Gateway without updating the Spring Cloud version, you may encounter compatibility issues and your gateway may not work as expected.

To avoid this, always make sure to update the <spring-cloud.version> property in your pom.xml or build.gradle file along with the Spring Cloud Gateway version.

For example, if you're upgrading to Spring Cloud Gateway x.y.z, ensure that the <spring-cloud.version> property is set to a compatible version. As of now, for Spring Cloud Gateway, a new API based on Spring 6, Spring Boot 3 and Project Reactor. The compatible Spring Cloud version is 2023.0.1.

<properties>
    <spring-cloud.version>2023.0.1</spring-cloud.version>
</properties>

By keeping both the Spring Cloud Gateway and Spring Cloud versions in sync, you'll ensure a smooth upgrade process and avoid any unexpected issues.

I hope this tip helps you in your Spring Cloud Gateway upgrades!

Happy coding!
