Reactive Web Applications
summary
Shows concrete non‑blocking stacks and demos: an HTTP server and client built with Reactor Net and RxNetty that stream data per second, use a capacity operator to limit in‑flight items to one, and use window + flatMap to create flush boundaries and multiplex responses. Explains Reactive Streams and back-pressure ready libraries, demos scatter‑gather and database streaming, and runs worked examples (real‑time flushing, client back‑pressure). Notes a cited “~35%” speed figure but emphasizes predictability and scalability over raw throughput; Spring‑reactive (experimental toward Spring 5) is under development.
