Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5

Summarizing RSocket

As we may have noticed throughout this section, RSocket is a convenient way to build a high-throughput and low-latency reactive system based on asynchronous peer-to-peer communications employing a Reactive Streams specification. In general, the RSocket protocol seeks to reduce perceived latency and increase system efficiency. That may be achievable with the support of non-blocking communication via a duplex connection. Along with that, RSocket is designed with the purpose of reducing a hardware footprint. In turn, RSocket is a protocol that may be implemented in any language. Finally, the implementation of RSocket in Java is built on top of Project Reactor, which gives a powerful programming model out of the box.

In general, ...
