Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips we look at the Spring support for the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. Spring's support for JDBC is one of many reasons a lot of people first started using Spring 15+ years ago! If you aren't committed to a full-blown ORM and/or want to leverage the full power of JDBC, then this video is for you!

I'll tell you a secret: as the project Reactor lead, this is one of my favorite places to capture amazing feedback and translate it into pull requests. I like spending hours replaying the software history with folks, talking about efficient distributed systems (or "microservices") because--Bingo! Reactive is all about these…
