Minimize Disruption and Stay Secure and Compliant With Spring LTS
The time-based Spring lifecycle, with releases coming every six months, puts organizations under intense pressure to stay current or put their applications at risk by staying on older versions. Keeping pace with frequent upgrades is challenging — teams must continually test, validate, and deploy updates while repeatedly configuring security settings to remain compliant.
With OpenLogic LTS, you don’t have to scramble to get on the latest version of Spring Boot or Spring Framework. You can extend the life of your deployments past community end-of-life — without compromising security or compliance — and take the time you need to test and transition.
Solution Overview:
- Available for Spring Boot 2.7 (3.4 coming soon) and Spring Framework 5.3 (6.2 coming soon)
- Guaranteed CVE patches for critical and high vulnerabilities (CVSS score of 7+) and patches for other severities evaluated on demand
- Choose your level, up to Premium which includes production deployment support and 1-hour response times

Need More Than Long-Term Support?
OpenLogic Enterprise Architects can provide 24/7/365 technical support, backed by SLAs, as well as a range of professional services including migrations, upgrades, implementations, and consulting for Spring Boot and Spring Framework, and other Spring components including Spring Security and Spring Cloud.
The Spring Upgrade Dilemma: Move Fast or Stay Stable?
Keeping up with every new Spring release can feel like a full-time job. Should you always upgrade right away or is it safe to stay on the version that’s already working in production?
If your team is feeling the pressure to upgrade faster than your roadmap allows, this video will help you rethink your strategy — and show you how LTS can keep your Spring application secure, stable, and supported until you're ready to migrate.
Don't Let Spring EOL Disrupt Your Business
Now that the Spring lifecycle is aligned with OpenJDK, new releases come out twice a year and receive only a year of community support. Frequent upgrades are burdensome and strain resources — but staying on legacy versions exposes your applications to vulnerabilities and compliance audit failures.
Spring LTS covers you beyond community EOL so you don’t have upgrade as often. Don’t leave your applications unprotected — get long-term support today to extend the life of your deployments.

OpenLogic’s online CVE Center tracks all the CVEs that our team has patched for our LTS builds. Each CVE listed references the LTS package version where the CVE has been resolved.
Customers can also subscribe to an RSS feed to get updates about new CVEs and the patched LTS packages we provide. Any time a new entry is added to the feed, your team will get a notification.
Finally, in our quarterly customer newsletter, we announce all product releases for the past quarter.

We will evaluate the issue, and either provide you a workaround, or patch the issue in our next release.
Our primary competitors for Spring Framework and Spring Boot LTS give you exactly one thing: LTS builds. They cannot help your team if you experience downtime in production, or provide you with expert consultative services if you need to improve application performance or need help migrating to a newer version of the framework.
