Helidon Nima - Loom-Based Microservices Framework - GeeCON 2023

Explore the potential of Helidon Nima, a Loom-based microservices framework, in this 50-minute conference talk from GeeCON 2023. Delve into the world of high-performance imperative coding as an alternative to reactive programming. Learn how virtual threads in Java can help maintain clean and maintainable codebases while achieving impressive performance. Discover the performance challenges addressed by modern frameworks and understand why they often lead developers into reactive programming. Gain insights into Helidon Nima's design, which leverages Project Loom to provide a synchronous routing approach that allows for blocking when necessary while maintaining high performance under concurrent loads. Examine the challenges, benefits, and impact of developing applications in this new environment, and consider whether this marks the beginning of the end for reactive programming.
