Taking Your Code from Synchronous to Reactive with an Oracle Open-Source Project
Explore the journey of Oracle's open-source Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC) driver in this 29-minute conference talk from CloudWorld 2022. Discover how Oracle transformed their Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver from synchronous to reactive over five years of development. Learn about the techniques used to achieve this transition and gain insights into implementing reactive programming in your own projects. Follow along as Oracle experts Kuassi Mensah and Michael McMahon demonstrate the driver's capabilities, including querying, update counts, and looping. Understand the benefits and limitations of this approach, and get a glimpse into the future with virtual threads. Gain valuable knowledge to help you modernize your database connectivity and improve your application's performance and scalability.
