ABSTRACT
#Microservices and #BigData increasingly confront us with the limitations of traditional input/output. In traditional IO, work that is IO-bound dominates threads. This wouldn't be such a big deal if we could add more threads cheaply, but threads are expensive on the #JVM, and most other platforms. Even if threads were cheap and infinitely scalable, we'd still be confronted with the faulty nature of networks. Things break, and they often do so in subtle, but non-exceptional ways. Traditional approaches to integration bury the faulty nature of networks behind overly simplifying abstractions. We need something better.

#SpringFramework 5 is here! It introduces the #Spring developer to a growing world of support for reactive programming across the Spring portfolio, starting with a new Netty-based web runtime, component model and module called Spring #WebFlux, and then continuing to Spring #DataKay, Spring Security 5.0, Spring Boot 2.0 and Spring Cloud Finchley. Sure, it sounds like a lot, but don't worry! Join me, your guide, Spring developer advocate Josh Long, and we'll explore the wacky, wonderful world of Reactive Spring together. [...]

If you are using Java for reactive (or any asynchronous) programming you are essentially using a hammer with a sharpened edge as a saw, and being told it is an amazing tool for cutting down trees - told by all the other people around you that have never used a real saw.

I think Project Loom will kill most of the interest in reactive programming in Java because it will no longer be absolutely needed for max performance.
