Reactive Programming with Spring Webflux
summary
A demo shows building a reactive REST API with Spring WebFlux and Reactor using reactive MongoDB and WebClient to aggregate series and ratings. It covers streaming the full collection with backpressure, batching (buffer to batch 100 ids), a retry strategy, and benchmarks (more stable with fewer errors at ~100 requests/sec); tests use StepVerifier and WebTestClient, and migration mainly means swapping starters and replacing blocking libraries with reactive equivalents.
