Migrating a Traditional Spring Boot App to the Reactive Model

Happy New Year reactives! The first event of 2021 takes us on the JVM again. If you work with Spring Boot, then this is the perfect spot for you.

➡️ Talk title:
Migrating a Traditional Spring Boot App to the Reactive Model

➡️ Abstract:
The reactive programming model is complex to master. It requires a lot of experience to feel comfortable with it. However, there’s no denying that it fits the cloud ecosystem perfectly. Since on-premises infrastructure is oversized, running a program that executes a couple of additional CPU cycles won’t change anything. On the other hand, you will pay for them if you host the same program on third-party infrastructure. Depending on the number of those cycles, and the number of nodes the program runs on, it can make a huge difference in your monthly bill.
In this talk, I’d like to demo how you can migrate a traditional sample Spring Boot application to the Reactive model one step at a time.
