Scala Reactive Programming

The Reactive Resource Loan pattern

The Resource Loan Pattern is not new to Java or Scala developers. We have already used it in many applications to develop our non-Reactive System components, such as creating a database connection, creating a socket connection, creating a file, and so on.

In Reactive Systems, we also use the same concept, but we use it to utilize Reactive System resources effectively. Let's observe the following diagram:

The Reactive Resource Loan Pattern works as follows:

1. In our Reactive System, one of our System components, which needs a resource to fulfill its computation task, sends a request (Request a Resource) to ...
