Getting into the Flow: building applications with Reactive Streams
summary
Shows how Reactive Streams deliver nonblocking, back-pressured pipelines by wiring real code: RxJava 2, Project Reactor, Akka Streams and Java 9 Flow adapters. Builds a demo that generates 0–99, groups into tens, and flows Source → Flowable → Flux across implementations and it runs, but crossing boundaries drops per-framework optimizations. Covers async scheduling, hot vs cold publishers, file handling with a using-style resource pattern, and testing with StepVerifier/TestSubscriber.
