Backpressure: Resistance is NOT Futile
summary
Explains backpressure in reactive systems by defining the problem, showing why it matters for streams and async processing, and describing concrete techniques to manage it. Covers practical implementations and patterns for applying backpressure in reactive frameworks (such as RxJS and related stream libraries) and how compilers/runtime features can help enforce or propagate backpressure rather than dropping or buffering unboundedly.
