Slick support for google dataflow

Question

Can we use slick to connect to database while in Google data flow? Or is it preferred to use JBBC IO only?

Also is there a way to handle async requests? like for example, mapasync in case of Akka Streams.

Answer 1

Per current documentation ( http://slick.lightbend.com/doc/3.0.0/supported-databases.html ), Google data flow isn't supported.

Slick supports async requests pretty much everywhere by default I'd say, it'll give you nice Future to play with.
