Building an Asynchronous Reactive NoSQL SDK with RxJava

Room 5 - BestWestern

In this talk, we'll discover Reactive Functional Programming through a real-world example of RxJava usage. Come and see how the java SDK for a NoSQL database was rewritten and rethought for an asynchronous experience and maximum performance.

We'll talk about the RxJava model and API, then go deeper and show how we leverage RxJava in our own API and how we expose Observables to the users of the Couchbase SDK.

Finally, we'll talk about the rest of the SDK's architecture, and notably how it relies on performance-oriented libraries like Netty and the LMAX Disruptor, to go async end-to-end.
