Reactive Revolution by Josh Long

Microservices and big-data increasingly confront us with the limitations of traditional input/output. In traditional IO, work that is IO-bound dominates threads. This wouldn't be such a big deal if we could add more threads cheaply, but threads are expensive on the JVM, and most other platforms. Even if threads were cheap and infinitely scalable, we'd still be confronted with the faulty nature of networks. Things break, and they often do so in subtle, but non-exceptional ways. Traditional approaches to integration bury the faulty nature of networks behind overly simplifying abstractions. We need something better.

Spring Framework 5 introduced the Spring developer to a growing world of support for reactive programming across the Spring portfolio, starting with a new Netty-based web runtime, component model and module called Spring WebFlux, and then continuing to Spring Data Kay, Spring Security 5.0, Spring Boot 2.0 and Spring Cloud Finchley.

Sure, it sounds like a lot, but don't worry!

Join me, your guide, Spring developer advocate Josh Long, and we'll begin the reactive revolution together.

That joke in the beginning about showing his daughter his photos almost made me spit coffee. Always love Josh's terrible jokes.

Hi Guys ! I need to say... WHAT A GOOD conference !!!... I think I needed to listen to this wisdom !!!... jaja... Really thankful !. A simple comment... Is there any library I could use to improve the persistence of nested documents in the reactive version of mongo ?. Because since @DbRef is not supported, related documents are saved as nested documents instead in another collection... Thanks

Sadly, have to use Java 8.
