Asynchronous programming does not make the code faster than the synchronous version, but resource utilization is optimized and it's easier to scale.

Spring uses the project Reactor as the implementation of the Reactive Streams Specification.

Reactive Streams specification contains 4 interfaces: Publisher, Subscriber, Subscription and Processor.

We mainly use Mono, Flux and StepVerifier when working with Spring WebFlux and the project Reactor.

Mono produces 0..1 item.

Flux produces 0..N items.

StepVerifier is used to test Mono and Flux, mainly.

Both Mono and Flux implements Publisher.

RxJava2|Reactor => Observable|Flux, Single|Mono.

We can create Flux and Mono from methods like .just(), fromIterable() and many other from*() methods.

Spring Framework 5 requires Java 8.

Spring WebFlux uses Netty server by default.

Up to this day, there is not reactive implementations for JDBC drivers.

Spring WebFlux provides an annotation-based programming model where @Controller and @RestController components use annotations to express request mappings, request input, exception handling, and more.

Spring WebFlux includes a lightweight, functional programming model in which functions are used to route and handle requests and contracts are designed for immutability. It is an alternative to the annotated-based programming model but otherwise running on the same Reactive Spring Web foundation.

The spring-webflux module includes a reactive, non-blocking client for HTTP requests with a functional-style API client and Reactive Streams support called WebClient (AsyncRestTemplate has been deprecated).

Don’t let negative and toxic people rent space in your head. Raise the rent and kick them out.

The French Revolution will be found to have had great influence on the strength of parties and on the subsequent political transactions of the United States.

I should be learning another language and working out more, but I'm just always saying, 'Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'

The first drama thing I really got stuck into was 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' I played Puck. That's when I said, 'I want to be an actor.'

This country is going to implode, or put another way, it's going to get crushed under the weight of poverty. You can't have one percent of the people who own and control more wealth than the other 90 percent of the population.

A house in the country is not the same as a country house.

The philosophic spirit of inquiry may be traced to brute curiosity, and that to the habit of examining all things in search of food.

My legacy doesn't matter. It isn't important that I be remembered. It's important that when I stand before the Lord, he says, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' I want to finish strong.

I wish to lead a life free from care, and I see that I shall be unhappy if I cannot always work at my art.

It's always fun when you're doing the CGI stuff, to actually get to work with someone who is real, who's there.

There is in the DNA of the Italians a bit of madness, which in the overwhelming majority of cases is positive. It is genius. It is talent. It's the masterpieces of art. It's the food, fashion, everything that makes Italy great in the world.

Equal protection under the law - for race, religion, gender or sexual orientation - should not be subject to the most popular sentiments of the day.

The main principle of animals' rights, if admitted to be fundamentally sound, will not be essentially affected by the wildness or the domesticity, as the case may be, of the animals in question; both classes have their rights, though these rights may differ largely in extent and importance.

The EU should be concentrated on adapting to globalisation and global competitiveness, not building more powerful centralised institutions in Brussels.

Can we really believe that we are living a good life, an ethically decent life if we don't do anything serious to help reduce poverty around the world and help save the lives of children or adults who are likely to die if we don't increase the amount of aid we are giving.

There is a sense that things, if you keep positive and optimistic about what can be done, do work out.
