Hands-On Reactive Programming with Python

Reactive systems

This book will cover many aspects on reactive programming. But an important thing to be aware of is that using reactive programming does not mean implementing a reactive system. A reactive system is much more than implementing a component with asynchronous and reactive programming. These are two notions that may be easily mingled due to the similarities in the way they are named, but they are completely different. As already explained, reactive programming is a way to code. On the other hand, a reactive system is an architecture pattern that allows us to write robust systems; that is, applications that are made of many components communicating via network channels, and with instances running on several (many?) servers, virtual ...
