" summary

Claim: a React front end paired with a Vert.x cluster matches frontend performance on the backend by offloading CPU work and scaling with event-driven workers. Uses Rollup/Webpack + Babel, Node.js for tooling, and a WebSocket bridge so browsers subscribe to events; demos build a real-time messaging app with server-side state and server-side rendering for SEO. Live demo shows generation of CPU‑heavy payloads, cluster failover and recovery under load, handling bursts without global locks, and mixing languages for high‑performance microservices.
