As we saw in the previous chapter, the Reactive Streams specification makes reactive libraries compatible with each other and has also resolved the backpressure problem by introducing the pull-push data exchange model. Despite the significant improvements introduced by the Reactive Streams specification, it still only defines APIs and rules, and does not offer a library for everyday use. This chapter covers one of the most popular implementations of the Reactive Streams specification, Project Reactor (or Reactor for short). However, the Reactor library has evolved a lot since its early versions and has now become the most state-of-the-art reactive library. Let's look at its history to see how the Reactive Streams specification has shaped the API and implementation details of the library.

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!
