Embark on a live-coded journey in which we explore all of Kotlin’s reactive building blocks, such as Coroutines, Channels, and Flows. By building a reactive API in SpringBoot from scratch, you will see all of these straightforward and easy-to-understand concurrency primitives in action. Along the way, you will also get to know how Kotlin enables seamless integration with existing reactive libraries – namely SpringBoot’s Webflux and R2DBC – completely hiding away their challenging abstractions.
At the end of the talk, you should have gained a good understanding of Kotlin’s reactive primitives, their application in an existing framework (Springboot) as well as the knowledge that the best of both worlds is possible: reactive application characteristics without the headache.
