Get Started with Reactive Programming in Spring
Reactive programming is an approach to writing software that embraces asynchronous I/O. It’s pretty awesome.

Nice article. Well done!

Hi,
In the method read of Asynchronous, the while block seems wrong, since fileChannel.read invoked in completed method.

Would have been great to see same example written in reactive program

The next post in this series has code: Build Reactive APIs with Spring WebFlux.

Thanks for sharing the next post. May be i should have been more clear, this post explains file read and serving it over network as non-reactive example.
1. how would be the same code in reactive programming
2. how would it respond when server is loaded with lot of request, may be unit/integration test to explain that
3. file read is synchronous blocking io operation, multiple concurrent requests for same file or different file, how would reactive programming handle that
4. how would the client be designed to access this async way of file read

Thanks for your suggestions. I’ll keep them in mind for my next post on reactive programming.

Hi,
Anyone of you please let me know how we can emit/push flux using Sinks.Many.unicastspec ?I tried unicastSpecs.backpressure().tryEMitNext(10) but it seems like it is not working.Please some one provide example of it that would be great help.

I would suggest posting this question to Stack Overflow and tagging it with “webflux”.

Hi Matt,
Very nice article explaining reactive programming and how in form of Spring webflux we got a framework that wrap around Reactor API . I am very new to reactive and microservices as well . Can you please guide any real time example where multiple services created in Spring boot , registered with Spring cloud Registry and has Spring cloud gateway configured as proxy communicating with each other in form of events using reactive programming . If yes that will be really helpful for me to relate where actually reactive fits in.
Matt Raible
Yes, you can see my Reactive Java Microservices with Spring Boot and JHipster post for an example. You can also navigate directly to its GitHub repo.
