Spring has always been defined by its lightweight core. While there has been an overwhelming explosion in the external projects and protocols it integrates seamlessly with, it has also evolved internally to meet the needs of modern development requirements.
One of the biggest changes in the last several years has been the emergence of Reactive Spring, an attempt to embrace the idea of Reactive Systems in the Spring ecosystem. This is a vision of responsive, resilient, elastic systems. Unfortunately, code alone cannot solve the problems so this is a case where software and architecture meet.
You will learn about:
- The Reactive System vision
- How Spring absorbed these ideas without complicating or
eliminating the more conventional styles
- How to build, test and consume Reactive Spring applications
- How to architect entire Reactive chains of interacting systems
