• Reactive Programming: Reactive programming is a programming paradigm that promotes an asynchronous, non-blocking, event driven approach to data processing. Let us understand the difference between blocking and non blocking request processing.

• Blocking and Non blocking nature of API’s

• Backpressure: Controlling the rate limit of events being published to the subscriber from the publisher side, without crashing the system.

Spring Boot with Webflux

• spring-boot-starter-data-r2dbc: need of r2dbc due to blocking nature of jdbc, JDBC cannot be used in reactive programming, hence reactive relational database connectivity arised, which helps to connect relational databases to webflux.

• jasync-r2dbc-mysql is a dependency for reactive support for MySQL, is an async, netty based JVM database driver.

• schema.sql: within the classpath,which should be located in /src/main/resources because r2dbc doesn’t support hibernate,i.e the automatic creation of tables within the database

• Repository layer: extending the R2dbcRepository which in turn extends the ReactiveCrudRepository.

• Difference between Mono and Flux.

Testing API’s with curl

• POST operation:

$ curl -d '{
    "tutorialId": 5,
    "title": "breathe_become_air",
    "description": "kalanithi"
}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://localhost:8080/tutorials

• GET operation:

 curl -v http://localhost:8080/tutorials/5

which fetches the details.

Debian

• debNuX is the changelog version format for stable where ‘+’ or ‘~’ is appended depending on the package ‘N’ is the major version of Debian, ‘X’ is a number, starting at 1, that is increased for each stable upload of this package.

• For stable updates that use the same upstream version debian revision component will end in +debNuX

• For stable updates that use the new upstream version debian revision component will end in ~debNuX

• “Urgency” filed in the changelog is choosed based on the upload which fixes the RC bug,usual upload, or critical bugs. urgency=low: Usual upload, with britney transition from unstable to testing in 10days urgency=medium: RC Bug fixes, with britney transition in 5days urgency=high: fixes security bugs and 2 days for transition.
