At SpringOne 2018 we've announced a new effort named R2DBC to bring Java-based, reactive database access to relational databases. R2DBC is for reactive usage what JDBC is for imperative/blocking usage.

A few resources to get you started:
* The project organization can be found [on Github|https://github\.com/r2dbc\] and contains the SPI a client API as well as Postgres, SQL Server, and H2 implementation.
* The keynote section announcing R2DBC can be found [here|https://www\.youtube\.com/watch?v=E3s5f\-JF8z4\]
* An [in depth session on the topic|https://www\.youtube\.com/watch?v=idApf9DMdfk\] was held by [@nebhale|https://github\.com/nebhale\] which is basically _the_ introduction you can get.
* There's a [public mailing list|https://groups\.google\.com/forum/#⁠\!forum/r2dbc\] and our [R2DBC website|https://r2dbc\.io\] that contain additional resources.
* There's the [Spring Data R2DBC project|https://github\.com/spring\-projects/spring\-data\-r2dbc\] that has a [good overview|https://github\.com/spring\-projects/spring\-data\-r2dbc\] in its README.
