Mark Paluch On the way to Reactive

Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC) is a project of the Reactive Foundation that specifies how applications can integrate with databases using reactive programming on the JVM. The initiative was started a couple of years ago in response to a missing Java standard while facing persistence requirements from reactive applications. The specification has recently released version 0. 9 and the majority of R2DBC drivers have upgraded already. Come to this talk to get a brief overview of the R2DBC standard, what you can do today with it. We will discuss the future of R2DBC and how it fits into a modern JVM landscape. You will learn about the ideal use cases, the availability of drivers, and client libraries.
