Reactive Summit 2020: Rob Hedgpeth, Creating fully reactive applications with R2DBC

Not too long ago, a reactive variant of the JDBC API was released, known as Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC). While R2DBC started as an experiment to enable integration of SQL databases into systems that use reactive programming models, it now specifies a robust specification that can be implemented to manage data in a fully-reactive and completely non-blocking fashion. In this session, we’ll briefly go over the fundamentals that make R2DBC so powerful. We'll keep light on the slides so that we can jump directly into application code to get a first-hand look at the recently released R2DBC client from MariaDB. From there we'll examine how you can take advantage of crucial concepts, like event-driven behavior and backpressure, that enable fully-reactive, non-blocking interactions with a relational database.
