Learn about reactive programming in practice by developing an application using Java, Spring WebFlux, Project Reactor, Reactor Test, and WebClient.
Key Features
- Learn about the advantages of webflux and how to start using it in your company
- Practice the operations of Reactive Streams, RxJava, the Reactor Project, and mainly Spring WebFlux
- Learn the basic concepts of Reactive programming and develop an application from scratch
Book Description
Ever heard of reactive programming? No? Then this book is for you! If you have heard of reactive programming but never developed an application using Spring WebFlux, then this book is for you too!
In this book, you will learn the whole theory behind reactive programming and most importantly, you will put it into practice! We will start with the basics of reactive programming and then build an application in reactive programming from scratch using Spring WebFlux, Project Reactor, Reactor Test, MongoDB, WebClient, Web test client, and Spring REST Docs. You will learn concepts of reactive programming, RxJava, Reactive Streams, Spring WebFlux, Project Reactor, Netty, and much more.
If you are considering using Spring WebFlux in your company but still don't know the technology deeply, with this book you will have all the necessary basics covered to decide whether or not it makes sense to use Spring WebFlux in your company.
