KEYNOTE - Designing Applications: The Reactive Way
summary
Reactor 2.5 is in milestone and Spring Framework 5 M1 is imminent, promising a concrete path to non‑blocking apps that use Flux and Mono as first‑class types and implement the Reactive Streams backpressure contract. The stack supports Tomcat/Jetty (Servlet 3.1 → Reactive Streams bridge), Netty and Undertow, and integrates with reactive drivers (Couchbase, reactive DB drivers) and streaming templating experiments (Thymeleaf). The pitch: fewer threads, end‑to‑end flow control, and higher microservice density per host.
