The world is moving from a model where data sits at rest, waiting for people to make requests of it, to where data is constantly moving, streams of data flow to and from devices with or without human interaction. Decisions need to be made based on these streams of data in real time, models need to be updated, intelligence needs to be learned. And our old fashioned approach of CRUD REST APIs serving CRUD database calls just doesn't cut it, it's trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. It's time we moved to a stream centric view of the world.
This talk will look at how Reactive Streams is shaping the future of Jakarta EE. I'll talk about some Reactive Streams based specifications that we're currently working on in the JDK, MicroProfile and Jakarta EE communities, as well as some potential big ideas to transform the way developers write their applications, such as event sourcing and CQRS, that Jakarta EE will likely adopt in future. We'll take a look at a hypothetical future Jakarta EE, at what a typical service will look like when streaming is embraced, and get a glimpse of how Jakarta EE can lead the world in standards for Reactive systems.
