Here's a complete README file for the WebFluxExample project, tailored for clarity, onboarding, and developer usability.
A minimal Spring WebFlux-based Transaction Service showcasing reactive programming principles with non-blocking I/O. Built for experimentation, learning, and modular backend design.
This project demonstrates a basic transaction service using Spring WebFlux, ideal for developers exploring reactive stacks or preparing for production-grade reactive systems.
- Reactive stack: Spring Boot + WebFlux
- Non-blocking data access: Designed for scalability and performance
- Modular structure: Clean separation of concerns for easy extension

./mvnw spring-boot:runOnce running, you can test endpoints using:
- Postman
- curl
- Swagger (if integrated)
- Reactive REST endpoints for transaction operations
- Modular service layer for easy extension
- Maven wrapper for consistent builds
- Add R2DBC integration for reactive database access
- Implement unit and integration tests
- Add Swagger/OpenAPI documentation
- Dockerize the service for container deployment
Feel free to fork the repo, open issues, or submit PRs. This project is a sandbox for learning and improving reactive backend design.
Let me know if you'd like to add Swagger, Docker, or R2DBC setup instructions next!
