See all- Reactive Java REST APIs, FTW? with Matt RaibleLink visible for attendees
Get ready for an exciting May session with vJUG! Join Open Source Developer Matt Raible as he explores "Reactive Java REST APIs, FTW?" Learn to create secure Java REST APIs with Micronaut, Quarkus, Spring Boot, and Helidon. Matt will compare their performance, delve into OAuth 2.0 security, and showcase GraalVM support. Gain the knowledge to create your own APIs and decide if reactive programming is right for you.

Reactive Java REST APIs, FTW?
For several years, luminaries like Jonas Bonér, James Ward, and Josh Long have encouraged us to use reactive programming. Now that reactive programming has gone mainstream, and many Java frameworks support it, is it really all that?In this talk, you'll learn how to create Java REST APIs with Micronaut, Quarkus, Spring Boot, and Helidon. Then, you'll see how to secure them with OAuth 2.0 and what their reactive equivalents look like. I'll compare each framework's imperative versus reactive implementation performance numbers. Finally, you'll learn about their GraalVM support and see how they compare when running natively.
You'll leave with enough knowledge to create your own secure Java REST APIs and be confident if reactive works for you.

Do you want to build applications powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) using Java? We built LangChain4j exactly for that! The framework allows you to easily create AI-powered chatbots, process loads of unstructured data, and automate processes with the help of AI Services, that can use various tools: call APIs, access databases, and even dynamically execute generated code. You will get a hands-on guided tour through LangChain4j's functionality and its integrations (OpenAI, Google Gemini, HuggingFace, Dall-E, Quarkus, Spring Boot, etc.). We will explain the fundamental building blocks of LLM-powered applications and show you how to chain them together into AI Services. By the end of this session, you will have all the technical knowledge to start coding, along with plenty of inspiration for designing the new generation of apps.
