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!

Reactive in Spring Boot 2.0

Since this book is about reactive programming, we are not going to go into too much detail regarding Spring Boot. However, as the previous section stated, the ability to bootstrap applications fast is a critical ingredient of a successful framework. Let's figure out how reactivity is reflected in the Spring ecosystem. Since we get no benefits from only changing the programming paradigm to reactive programming because of the blocking nature of Spring MVC and Spring Data modules, the Spring team decided to change the whole paradigm inside those modules as well. For that purpose, the Spring ecosystem brings us a list of reactive modules. In this section, we will very briefly cover all of those modules. However, most of them are covered later in the book in dedicated chapters.
