From Web to Flux - Entering Reactor

Reactive Programming is the way!
You have to be ready to scale!
Tomorrow you might become the next Netflix!
...
:/

Leaving the hype aside, this workshop will show you how to implement a series of typical use-cases with reactive programming in Java. We’ll do that by migrating a classic (blocking) Spring REST application to WebFlux, hands-on, keeping the theory to a minimum.

However, the pitfalls we will encounter will make you understand why Reactive Programming is (one of) the most dangerous programming paradigms in the world regarding bugs and maintenance costs.

On the menu:
calling and exposing REST APIs
working with reactive repositories, SQL and noSQL
send/receive messages on queues
working with blocking libraries
propagating metadata
pitfalls: zero/re-subscribing, breaking the reactive chain
future of WebFlux vs Virtual Treads

Why this topic?
Because I received multiple requests for this from the members of our community.
