From Web to Flux: Tackling the Challenges of Reactive Programming By Victor Rentea

Ready for a deep dive into the world's most challenging programming paradigm? Reactive programming can simplify asynchronous and event-driven applications, but without a strong understanding, it can lead to frustration, recurring patchwork, missed deadlines, and costly bugs. In this intensive three-hour session, we'll transition a traditional Spring application to WebFlux, revealing patterns and anti-patterns when working with repositories, REST APIs, queues, and legacy libraries. You'll gain a clear understanding of often overlooked but critical aspects like subscribe signal, errors, cancellation, and signal loss. As a bonus, we'll debate the future of Reactive vs Virtual Threads, production-ready in Java 21. This session is crucial for developers already working with reactive programming or those intending to make the leap.
