Next Steps

R2DBC 0.8 is the first release of the open standard. We’re expecting maintenance releases shipping minor revisions of the specification and drivers over the course of the next months. We’re looking towards a 0.9 revision of R2DBC: Stored procedures, extensions to transaction definitions, and a specification for database events are only a few topics planned for the next iteration. Join the community to get involved and to follow development closely.
