Avoiding Reactor Meltdown

One of the most common ways to fail when using Project Reactor is to block a thread meant to handle only nonblocking tasks. This talk covers practices for detecting and avoiding such a reactor meltdown.
Specifically, the talk covers architecture-level and service-level practices for isolating blocking calls, coding guidelines to decrease the chance of introducing a blocking bug, code smells and red flags to look for in code reviews, and tools to help detect incorrect blocking at runtime (e.g., BlockHound).
We'll show code examples of blocking problems and solutions, as well as a live demo with BlockHound.

I'd say one of the most useful and practical presentation on webflux/reactive beyond Flux and Mono

[@IsmailMarmoush]

Well done! finally a calm and polite speaker with very clear tone.
He should do more talks instead of those fancy show offs all over youtube.

I hope i found this talk earlier before i deploy my reactive service in production. Now i know what made my service frequently down after watching this talk lol. Thanks for bringing this up. Nice topic from a very humble and polite speaker.

Jus awesome!!! This is the best presentation on Reactive/Webflux.

[@zurumogbonda3225]

Awesome lecture, a must watch

[@santhoshakuthota]

Really informative around reactive programming

[@tungtranvan1286]

i saw my code problem on your demo. Thank you

[@itsnaveen007]

Very useful talk

[@jagannathsahu1087]

Thanks.i learned lot from this video

[@sweeffon]

Well done, thanks

[@spamlikesme]

Awesome!!

Is it safe to say that if the majority of the time you need to use the bounded elastic scheduler (over the parallel scheduler), that you should probably not be using Webflux

[@daggerok]

valuable talk, thanks

[@iadrianrotaru]

Great presentation. However Reforged not so cool :))

World of wordcloud sounds like a fun game 😀

[@ukyo1541]

Hahha, I need blocking ~~~~in my project~!

[@hellowill]

perfect for noobs like me

[@michaeldeng1981]

My takeaway: don't use reactive.
