If we remember from Chapter 1, Why Reactive Spring?, the essence of reactive systems is in message-driven communication. Moreover, the previous chapters made it clear that by applying reactive programming techniques, we can write async interactions for interprocess/cross-service communication. In addition, by using the Reactive Streams specification, we are equipped to manage backpressure as well as failures in an asynchronous manner. Gathering all these features, we are capable of building a high-grained reactive application within one computer. Unfortunately, a one-node application has its constraints, which are expressed in hardware limitations. First of all, it is impossible to provide new computation resources such as additional CPU, RAM, and hard drive/SSD without shutting down the whole system. No benefit is...

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!
