I can tell you as a person working in a spring boot webflux shop that is pretty bad code. You really don’t want to nest that much. Using atomic references outside the reactive flow is a huge red flag that they don’t know how to program in webflux properly. Not that webflux is easy to use at all and the dx is garbage.

My experience with pretty much any Java framework ... It's sad because I do think (especially since Java 8) that Java is a great language for many things. But the community as this insane tendency to create incredibly convoluted pattern-on-top-of-pattern tooling.


Yes. I think micronaut is kind of the sweet spot right now.


With virtual threads it's difficult to see WebFlux being used in new projects.


I agree. Unless you actually need back-pressure, which almost every use case I've seen does not, it's just obfuscating simple API calls.
