Welcome to the Reactive Revolution:RSocket and Spring Cloud Gateway
summary
RSocket is presented as a transport-agnostic protocol (TCP/WebSocket) that supports four communication models and bi-directional multiplexed connection semantics; Spring Framework 5.2 and Spring Boot auto-configure an RSocket server and a Spring Cloud Gateway that builds routing tables from client metadata. Demo shows ping/pong over a gateway cluster where reactive backpressure propagates across the network, requests resume after reconnect, and metrics via Micrometer show per-connection and per-request rates. Claim: no client-side load balancer or sidecar needed and startup ordering is smoothed by gateway buffering.
