Get Reactive! Programming, Systems, and Microservices

" summary

Shows how Netflix replaces ~30 blocking REST calls with RxJava streams to run many requests concurrently, tolerate individual failures, and return defaults; demos use operators like zip and distinct to process a sentence into 25 sorted letters (missing ‘s’), proving composition works. Contrasts three server toolkits—Eclipse Vert.x (event bus, JSON messages, worker verticles for blocking drivers), Akka (actor mailboxes, resilience) and Spring WebFlux (Monos/Flux)—and a live demo that halts when the laptop battery dies.
