Unleash the Power of Reactive Programming with R2DBC and MariaDB

Not too long ago, a reactive variant of the JDBC API was released, known as Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC). While R2DBC started as an experiment to enable the integration of SQL databases into systems that use reactive programming models, it now has a robust specification that can manage data in a fully reactive and completely non-blocking fashion.

In this session, we’ll briefly go over the fundamentals that make R2DBC so powerful. We'll go light on the slides, and then jump directly into application code to get a firsthand look at the recently released R2DBC driver from MariaDB. From there, we'll examine how you can take advantage of crucial concepts, like event-driven behavior and backpressure, that enable fully reactive, non-blocking interactions with a relational database.
