Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5

Prerequisites and benefits of RxJava

With RxJava, we have become acquainted with the basics of reactive programming. Different reactive libraries may have slightly different APIs and somewhat various implementation details, but the concept remains the same—the subscriber subscribes to an observable stream that in turn triggers an asynchronous process of event generation. Between the producer and subscriber, there usually exists some subscription that makes it possible to break up the producer-consumer relationship. Such an approach is very flexible and enables to have control over the amount of produced and consumed events, decreasing the number of CPU cycles, which are usually wasted on creating data, and will never be used.
