------ Nicola Corti ------ There is 1 broken API among us

As a library user, you probably know that versions don't always tell the truth. Have you ever experienced a broken build after doing a minor bump of a library?

As a library author, maintaining a clean API is a challenge. There is always the risk that a breaking change sneaks in by accident.

Wouldn't it be nice to get notified if you're accidentally breaking your users' code? A tool to inspect the binary API of your Kotlin/Java code can help you exactly with that. In this talk, we will see some of those tools and how that simplifies the life of library & SDK developers.

------ Nicolas Fränkel ------ Migrating from Imperative to Reactive

While Reactive Programming is very different from the usual Imperative way, there’s no denying it fits “the Cloud”, as every bit of resource is used to its fullest. Let’s see how to migrate from the latter to the former using a Spring Boot web app as an example.
