Spring 5.0 By Example

Spring Data for Reactive Extensions

The Spring Data projects have some extensions to work with a reactive foundation. The project provides a couple of implementations based on asynchronous programming. It means the whole stack is asynchronous since database drivers are as well.

The module uses the Project Reactor as a reactive foundation implementation, but is possible to change the implementation to RxJava as well. Both libraries are production-ready and are adopted by the community. ...
