Reactive Programming with Spring

Reactive programming is all the rage nowadays and its non-blocking, low memory and CPU footprint is appealing in a world where we need more response systems and higher data throughput. Java has good support for this kind of programming style and in this talk we’ll have a look at the Spring ecosystem and Project Reactor to see how we can leverage reactive applications on the JVM. The talk will give an introduction to reactive programming and we’ll look at examples in Java and Kotlin. We’ll also discuss some pros and cons of this approach to coding as well as looking into what the future may hold.
