**Get ready for an exciting May session with vJUG!** Join Open Source Developer Matt Raible as he explores "Reactive Java REST APIs, FTW?" Learn to create secure Java REST APIs with Micronaut, Quarkus, Spring Boot, and Helidon. Matt will compare their performance, delve into OAuth 2.0 security, and showcase GraalVM support. Gain the knowledge to create your own APIs and decide if reactive programming is right for you.

**Reactive Java REST APIs, FTW?**
For several years, luminaries like Jonas Bonér, James Ward, and Josh Long have encouraged us to use reactive programming. Now that reactive programming has gone mainstream, and many Java frameworks support it, is it really all that?

In this talk, you'll learn how to create Java REST APIs with Micronaut, Quarkus, Spring Boot, and Helidon. Then, you'll see how to secure them with OAuth 2.0 and what their reactive equivalents look like. I'll compare each framework's imperative versus reactive implementation performance numbers. Finally, you'll learn about their GraalVM support and see how they compare when running natively.

You'll leave with enough knowledge to create your own secure Java REST APIs and be confident if reactive works for you.
