Reactive systems 

We have seen how reliable systems are being realized through the service mesh concept. This is another approach for bringing forth reliable software systems. A reactive system is a new concept based on the widely circulated reactive manifesto. There are reactive programming models and techniques to build viable reactive systems. As described previously, any software system is comprised of multiple modules. Also, multiple components and applications need to interact with each other reliably to accomplish certain complex business functionality. In a reactive system, the individual systems are intelligent. However, the key differentiator is the interaction between the individual parts. That is, the ability to operate individually ...
