Introduction to Reactive Programming

Understand the principles of reactive programming, non-blocking I/O, and the benefits of WebFlux.

Intro to Reactive Programming

Welcome to Reactive Programming! It's a modern approach to handle data streams and events efficiently. Think of it as programming with asynchronous data streams.

It helps build applications that are more resilient, responsive, elastic, and message-driven. This approach is especially useful for systems with high concurrency and data flow.

Why Reactive Programming?

Traditional applications often use a blocking model. When a task (like a database call) takes time, the current thread waits until it's done.

  • Blocking I/O: The thread pauses, wasting resources.
  • Scalability issues: More users mean more threads, leading to resource exhaustion.
  • Responsiveness: Can lead to slow user experiences for users.

Reactive programming offers a way out!
