Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5: Build cloud-ready, reactive systems with Spring 5 and Project Reactor

Explore the reactive system and create efficient microservices with Spring Boot 2.1 and Spring Cloud Key Features Understand the kind of system modern businesses require with Spring Gain deeper insights into reactive programming with Reactor and Spring Cloud Get in-depth knowledge on asynchronous and nonblocking communication with Spring 5 WebFlux Book Description
These days, businesses need a new type of system that can remain responsive at all times. This is achievable with reactive programming; however, the development of these kinds of systems is a complex task, requiring a deep understanding of the domain. In order to develop highly responsive systems, the developers of the Spring Framework came up with Project Reactor.
Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5 begins with the fundamentals of Spring Reactive programming. You'll explore the endless possibilities of building efficient reactive systems with the Spring 5 Framework along with other tools such as WebFlux and Spring Boot. Further on, you'll study reactive programming techniques and apply them to databases and cross-server communication. You will advance your skills in scaling up Spring Cloud Streams and run independent, high-performant reactive microservices.
By the end of the book, you will be able to put your skills to use and get on board with the reactive revolution in Spring 5.1! What you will learn Discover the difference between a reactive system and reactive programming Explore the benefits of a reactive system and understand its applications Get to grips with using reactive programming in Spring 5 Gain an understanding of Project Reactor Build a reactive system using Spring 5 and Project Reactor Create a highly efficient reactive microservice with Spring Cloud Test, monitor, and release reactive applications Who this book is for
This book is for Java developers who use Spring to develop their applications and want to build robust and reactive applications that can scale in the cloud. Basic knowledge of distributed systems and asynchronous programming will help you understand the concepts covered in this book.
