REST in an Async World - JAX-RS Client API and Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Approaches

Explore the intricacies of REST in asynchronous environments through this comprehensive technical session. Delve into the JAX-RS Client API, comparing synchronous and asynchronous approaches, and examining client-side versus server-side implementations. Learn best practices for efficiently consuming REST services in microservices architectures. Discover the Jersey Reactive Client API, popular reactive libraries like RxJava, and the features of JAX-RS 2.1 Client API. Gain hands-on experience through practical examples and demos, covering topics such as JAXRS Client instances, request invocation builders, flow of invocation, thread callbacks, and completion stages. Understand the nuances of synchronous endpoints, responses, and ICC server-side and client-side interactions. By the end of this session, acquire the knowledge to design and implement highly efficient microservices exchanges using REST.
