The previous chapters taught us how a reactive programming paradigm can become a pleasure to work with when using Reactor 3. So far, we have learned how to build a reactive web application using Spring WebFlux and Spring Data Reactive. This robust combination makes it possible to build an application that is capable of handling a high load while also providing the efficient resource utilization, a low memory footprint, low latency, and high throughput.
However, this is not the end of the possibilities that come with the Spring ecosystem. In this chapter, we are going to learn how to improve our application using the features offered by the Spring Cloud ecosystem as well as learning how to build a complete reactive system using Spring Cloud Streams. In addition, we are going to see what the RSocket library is and how it can help us develop...
