Microservice: Async Rest Client to DynamoDB using Spring Boot

Starting from Spring framework 5.0 and Spring Boot 2.0, the framework provides support for asynchronous programming, so does AWS SDK starting with 2.0 version.

In this post, I will be exploring using asynchronous DynamoDB API and Spring Webflux by building a simple reactive REST application. Let's say we need to handle HTTP requests for retrieving or storing some Event (id:string, body: string). The event will be stored in DynamoDB.
