Sure, here it is:
return.co.de/blog/articles/vertx-b...

The fun-fact is, that lager parts of my company used vert.x for 2-3 year. I strictly opposed and my team used spring boot and the recent reactive webflux. Now, all new services will be built using spring boot/webflux.

For simple CRUD style APIs with relational DBs, reactive just makes everything much more complicated without any benefit.

We have one or two services, that are doing heavy event lifting where reactive style makes sense.
And I am definitely a fan of the actor model and immutable messaging. However, I simply don’t like callbacks and obserables and such...
