Project Reactor: Now and Tomorrow - Stéphane Maldini, Simon Baslé
summary
Project Reactor is shipping Reactor Core 3.1 (the Spring Framework 5 dependency) and a reactive network driver Reactor Netty 0.7; the team reports 11 releases since 3.0, doubled Maven downloads after Spring 5, and 500+ people in the community chat. Features added: aligned Flux/Mono APIs, scannable introspection, subscriber context for thread-local replacement, step‑verifier with virtual time, retry/backoff utilities, and Kafka/RabbitMQ connectors; Netty runtime works but API is still evolving.
