Overview of Spring WebFlux

This video gives an overview Spring WebFlux, which represents a significant evolution in the Spring framework, embracing non-blocking, asynchronous programming models over the traditional synchronous, blocking Spring WebMVC. It harnesses reactive programming principles through Project Reactor, allowing for efficient multi-core utilization and high-volume concurrent connection handling without traditional I/O limitations. WebFlux supports seamless communication across process and network boundaries, offering back pressure management to balance data flow between producers and consumers. While it pushes the envelope in web application scalability and responsiveness, its utility is tempered by compatibility issues with Android and certain HTTP interfaces, prompting developers to weigh its benefits against application-specific requirements.
