Explore full stack reactive Java development using Project Reactor and Spring Boot 2 in this comprehensive conference talk. Dive into the Netty-based web runtime and learn to integrate with existing Spring-stack technologies, transition from blocking to reactive applications, define APIs in both imperative and functional styles, and leverage powerful testing mechanisms. Follow along with live coding examples to gain practical knowledge on building message-driven, elastic, resilient, and responsive services. Discover how to use the Reactive Streams initiative and Project Reactor to become immediately productive in creating fully reactive Spring Boot 2 applications, whether coming from a Spring MVC environment or a functional perspective.
