Intro to Reactive Programming
Reactive systems are thought to be the future of the next wave of programming. With the advent of IoT and fast data there is a need to process vast amounts of data at scale. A new architectural style called Reactive applications has emerged to allow developers to build systems that are event-driven, scalable, responsive and resilient. The key building blocks for event driven reactive applications are asynchronous sending of events, non-blocking, decoupling of event generation and processing, isolation, observable models, event streams and stateful clients. The entire solution is asynchronous from the top(browser) to the bottom (web layer & service components).
This is a talk that will introduce you to the world of Reactive, event-driven application development. We will use the Spring Framework and also study other implementors of the Reactive manifesto like Typesafe and RxJava. We hope this is the one where you don’t get lost and it makes sense. Get a definition of what “reactive” means and why it matters. Learn about Reactive Streams and Reactive Extensions and the emerging ecosystem around them. Get a sense for what going reactive means for the programming model. See hands-on demos introducing the basic concepts in composition libraries using Vert.x, RxJava and Reactor.
