Bootiful Edge Services
summary
Builds a small demo: a customers service (H2 + R2DBC) and an orders service over RSocket for orders, then a single edge service using Spring Cloud Gateway and reactive clients to merge views. Produces an 8-customer dataset, composes customer+orders with reactive zip to avoid blocking, and shows GraphQL schema + batch mapping to fix the n+1 problem. Also generates a GraalVM native image: 83 MB footprint and a gateway on port 9999 proxying to 8080; demos run end-to-end.
