Do I need to use reactive stack in order to use RSocket

Question

I develop a mobile app using Flutter and backend using Spring boot and JPA.

I've notice while developing that I need Websocket and then came across RSocket.

Do I need to change my persistent stack (Hibernate,JPA and postgres) to use RSocket ?

Answer 1

you don`t need to change persistent stack, but you will have another driver(reactive one) to connect from your app to Postgresql.

r2dbc-postgresql

And also some changes in your application

spring-data-r2dbc
