Building Reactive Pipelines - How to Go from Scalable Apps to - Ridiculously - Scalable Systems

Explore the journey from imperative, blocking code to reactive programming models in this 51-minute conference talk by Mark Heckler at Devoxx. Learn how Project Reactor builds on reactive streams to create performant and scalable reactive microservices. Discover the role of message brokers and streaming platforms like RabbitMQ and Apache Kafka in building scalable systems. Understand how Spring Cloud Stream leverages Reactor to provide fully reactive pipelines for system-wide scalability. Gain practical knowledge through live coding examples using 100% open source software, demonstrating how to optimize applications and address system-wide bottlenecks for achieving ridiculously scalable systems.
