Java: Blocking the Event Loop
Answer
It blocks threads, reducing performance. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Using legacy JDBC in WebFlux causes threads to block during database calls, akin to a checkout line stopping every time a cashier runs to the stockroom. This hinders the server's ability to handle concurrent requests efficiently.
