Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5

By: Oleh Dokuka, Igor Lozynskyi

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!

The faster we prove the concept, the more value it brings to business, and the less money is therefore spent on research.

For this reason, humans have always endeavored to simplify routine work. Developers are not excluded from that rule. We love everything to work out of the box, especially when we are talking about a complex framework such as Spring. Despite a lot of benefits and advantageous features introduced by Spring Framework, it requires a deep understanding of how...
