Connecting to a database is such a challenge as we can't use blocking drivers. Lucky for us, Spring comes with Data Repository for MongoDB.

Warning : Do not try hard, just play with it. Full source code of this article -  reactive-spring-hello Create the project Go to Spring initializer ( https://start.spring.io/ ) and fill out project metadata. Add the below dependencies. Spring Reactive Web, Lombok Download and open the project with your desired IDE. Say hello Reactively Let's quickly create an endpoint (Controller) and add the below contents. Compile and run it. http://localhost:8080/mono, http://localhost:8080/flux package com.slmanju.reactivespringhello.
