Move Over JDBC - ADBA and R2DBC Are Coming

Explore the future of database access in this conference talk from Devoxx Poland 2019. Delve into the world of non-blocking APIs for SQL databases, focusing on ADBA and R2DBC as alternatives to the traditional JDBC. Learn about the limitations of blocking APIs and the potential performance improvements offered by non-blocking solutions. Discover how these new standards can affect your application's performance and code structure. Gain insights into creating connections, working with reactive streams, and understanding the current state of these experimental technologies. The talk includes a demonstration and a Q&A session to address audience questions.
