You may have already used Spring Data REST, but how to make it perform faster and better interact with the user? From its initial creation, you may introduce the usage of ETags to optimize the server access through caching and conditional requests, you may work with REST events to manage side actions, customize the default view through projections and excerpts to nicely interact with the end user, and introduce Spring Data Reactive to quickly get the first pieces of information. The talk will demonstrate how to efficiently build such a Spring Data REST application.
