Deepdive into Reactive Spring with Coroutines and Kotlin Flow

Spring Coroutines official support allows to go Reactive with Kotlin, WebFlux, RSocket and R2DBC (Reactive SQL) with a great balance between imperative and declarative programming, and can even be used outside of the JVM.
In this deep dive session, we are going to take a journey across building step by step a distributed chat application with Spring Boot 2.2 for the backend and Kotlin/JS for the frontend to experiment concretely with these topics:

Main reasons for switching from Java to Kotlin
State of Kotlin support in Spring Boot 2.2
The 3 pillars of Coroutines 1.3: suspending functions, structured concurrency and the brand new Flow type
Coroutines support in Spring WebFlux with @Controller and the router DSL
Using Coroutines in the browser with Kotlin/JS
Building a Reactive messaging infrastructure with RSocket
Reactive SQL with R2DBC
Configuring Spring Boot explicitly with Kofu experimental DSL from Spring Fu incubator
