Part 3. Reactive Spring

In part 3, we’ll explore the exciting new support for reactive programming in Spring. Chapter 10 discusses the essentials of reactive programming with Project Reactor, the reactive programming library that underpins Spring 5’s reactive features. We’ll then look at some of Reactor’s most useful reactive operations. In chapter 11, we’ll revisit REST API development, introducing Spring WebFlux, a new web framework that borrows much from Spring MVC while offering a new reactive model for web development. Chapter 12 rounds out part 3 with a look at writing reactive data persistence with Spring Data to read and write data to Cassandra and Mongo databases.
