Dear community,
I'm thrilled to announce that, after ten milestones and RCs and almost two years of development overall, R2DBC is now generally from Maven Central.
This brand-new generation of a specification for database access on the Java platform enables reactive programming arrangements to leverage non-blocking access with SQL databases.
R2DBC comes with a Java 8 baseline and requires Reactive Streams. It enables interchange of drivers while providing a vendor-neutral SPI for easier consumption of various drivers.
The Arabba release train bundles the following drivers:
* H2
* Microsoft SQL Server
* MySQL
* Postgres
* and implementations for Connection Pooling and Proxying
Drivers for Google Cloud Spanner and SAP HANA are work in progress. We expect to hear from these projects soon.
Make sure to check out the blog post [0] containing further information.
Thanks go to everyone who contributed with their ideas, discussion, testing, tickets, and pull requests to reach R2DBC GA!
Cheers,
Mark
