Speaker: Michael Minella, Pivotal One of the major promises of the cloud is that of flexibility. Today, most applications deployed to the cloud are long running processes that use the flexibility of cloud scaling. But computing is full of short lived tasks that start up, do their work, and then terminate. These tasks are excellent cloud use cases since resources can quickly be provisioned - and reclaimed.

In this webinar, we’ll explore a new project in the Spring Cloud portfolio, Spring Cloud Task, a new framework for developing and orchestrating short-lived microservices. We’ll explore…

As Juergen mentioned in his Spring Framework 5 M1 release announcement our Spring Reactive initiative has been merged into Spring Framework proper preserving all contributions and its full history over more than a year.

What is it?

In a nutshell reactive programming is about non-blocking, event-driven applications that scale with a small number of threads with backpressure as a key ingredient that aims to ensure producers do not overwhelm consumers. The Reactive Streams specification (also adopted in Java 9) enables the ability to communicate demand across layers and libraries from different…
