For some time, there was a standard library for reactive programming on Java platforms—namely RxJava 1.x (see https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava for more details). That library paved the way for reactive programming as we know it in the Java world today. At the moment, it is not the only library of this kind; we also have Akka Streams and Project Reactor. The latter is covered in detail in Chapter 4, Project Reactor - the Foundation for Reactive Apps. So, currently, we have a few options from which we may choose. Furthermore, RxJava itself has changed a lot with the release of version 2.x. However, to understand the most basic concepts of reactive programming and the reasoning behind them, we will be focusing on the most fundamental part of the RxJava only, on the API, which has...

Overview of this book
These days, businesses need a new type of system that can remain responsive at all times. This is achievable with reactive programming; however, the development of these kinds of systems is a complex task, requiring a deep understanding of the domain. In order to develop highly responsive systems, the developers of the Spring Framework came up with Project Reactor.
Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5 begins with the fundamentals of Spring Reactive programming. You’ll explore the endless possibilities of building efficient reactive systems with the Spring 5 Framework along with other tools such as WebFlux and Spring Boot. Further on, you’ll study reactive programming techniques and apply them to databases and cross-server communication. You will advance your skills in scaling up Spring Cloud Streams and run independent, high-performant reactive microservices.
By the end of the book, you will be able to put your skills to use and get on board with the reactive revolution in Spring 5.1!
