Building scalable Spring applications often depends on choosing the right approach to asynchronous programming. In the past, developers relied heavily on reactive libraries and WebFlux to handle concurrency and scalability, but do those choices still make sense today?
In this session, you will explore how asynchronous programming in Spring Boot has evolved, comparing earlier reactive models with the modern use of virtual threads. You will examine the benefits and drawbacks of each approach and consider how the options available to Spring developers have changed over time.
What You Will Learn
How asynchronous programming in Spring Boot has evolved
How reactive approaches and WebFlux compare with virtual threads
The benefits and drawbacks of these approaches to concurrency and scalability
Who Should Attend
Java and Spring Developers, Software Architects, Technical Leads, and practitioners building scalable Spring Boot applications.
