Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5: Build cloud-ready, reactive systems with Spring 5 and Project Reactor

Rate this book
Explore the reactive system and create efficient microservices with Spring Boot 2.1 and Spring Cloud

Key FeaturesUnderstand the kind of system modern businesses require with SpringGain deeper insights into reactive programming with Reactor and Spring CloudGet in-depth knowledge on asynchronous and nonblocking communication with Spring 5 WebFluxBook DescriptionThese days, businesses need a new type of system that can remain responsive at all times. This is achievable with reactive programming; however, the development of these kinds of systems is a complex task, requiring a deep understanding of the domain. In order to develop highly responsive systems, the developers of the Spring Framework came up with Project Reactor.

Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5 begins with the fundamentals of Spring Reactive programming. You’ll explore the endless possibilities of building efficient reactive systems with the Spring 5 Framework along with other tools such as WebFlux and Spring Boot. Further on, you’ll study reactive programming techniques and apply them to databases and cross-server communication. You will advance your skills in scaling up Spring Cloud Streams and run independent, high-performant reactive microservices.

By the end of the book, you will be able to put your skills to use and get on board with the reactive revolution in Spring 5.1!

Some important part is not explained in details, that's what I should expect from a tech book though. Assembly time, subscription time, I wanted to see this through code snippets, explaining how it behaves in assembly time, then in subscription and finally in execution. Also, the Spring data section is just barely introduced. Advanced topics such as bulk writing with db (mongodb as its driver is the most accomplished for reactive use). Instead, there's that useless topic about deployment that has not been affected by reactive programming).
These are important details, but the book, roughly speaking, is very useful and it explains a lot about historical work that made reactive programming with Spring came to this point. It explains the basics, and many features. Also, it contains some good snippets to be used.

This book is great. This is the third book I have read about reactive programming and it does a great job in explaining why and when to use this technique and how it fits in the Spring landscape. It's a great resource to know how to fit reactive programming in Spring.

On the other hand, I can't say anything about the print version, but in the online one it's true that there were some formatting and editing errors that slightly hindered the reading. I would recommend it anyway.

Code examples with quite 'fundamental' knowledge about 'reactive'

Writes 3 pages about 100 subjects. Tries to cover as much ground as possible, ends up not covering anything properly. Poor language, not reviewed enough.
