This course is your guide to using Spring Boot 2 and Spring WebFlux to create Reactive Web Applications. 

You will learn how to build a full-reactive system from the database (MongoDB reactive) to the front-end (Angular), using a Reactive programming strategy leveraged by Spring WebFlux, with the simplicity offered by Spring Boot 2. 

Beyond that though, you will be able to compare the Spring WebFlux with the standard MVC approach as well, covering the main aspects such as simplicity, performance, user experience, and more.

The last part of the course ties it all up by teaching you to run the application using Docker compose. By the end of this course, you will have a great new skill for your resume and you’ll be able to build your own projects using the full Reactive stack.

Full Reactive Stack: Spring Boot 2 & Spring WebFlux


This is the most subjective angle that we can use to compare both approaches. However, I think it’s very important because it would be risky to blindly choose WebFlux because of the value it brings to the user’s experience without considering other factors.



Look at some caveats with regards to ease of development before you consider shifting to Spring WebFlux.
