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

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

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

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).

Adopting big-business practices is one thing, and adopting agribusiness practices that would dilute the meaning of 'organic' is another. On the whole, I think we're doing a pretty good job of preserving the integrity of organic foods.

I don't like to read contemporary fiction while writing - I need a sense of isolation, a kind of silence, and I don't want a jumble of other people's voices or visions getting in my way. Nineteenth-century voices don't create static in that silence.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs since the payment is pure love.

For me, geopolitical issues are becoming more important, because how can you understand economy if you don't understand geopolitics? People think economists just deal with spreadsheets and charts. That's a narrow-minded caricature.

When I'm reading a script and I see the word 'lumbering' I go, 'Oh, that's probably the part they want me to read for.'

Once you've reached the point where you can pay rent, you can go to the vet and you can go to the grocery store, after that point it's all the same. I don't have the appetite for a decadent lifestyle.

Nudity is a problem for Americans. It disrupts our social exchange.

The light music of whisky falling into glasses made an agreeable interlude.

That's the thing about Lionsgate. They are fearless. No other studio would have made 'Hunger Games' the way they did. They're being fearless in the way they make decisions, and it's paying off for them.

Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly cynics.

That is one reason so many of the Japanese pictures are not good, they cannot spare all the footage necessary for that bow, which is repeated over and over again.

I was a little bit of a cocky kid.

Official boundaries are often hard to see. If you head north on Woodward Avenue, away from downtown Detroit, you wouldn't know exactly when you left the city and crossed over into Oakland County - except for a small sign that tells you.

I'm no longer interested in being in big commercial films.

3D prefers you to use wider lenses because when things are out of focus, and yet it's in 3D, it bothers you.

The part of modern pop music I don't know much about is hip hop.

Free access to the single market will be granted to a country which accepts the four fundamental freedoms of movement of people, goods, services, and capital.

I do rely on having a full face on.

The first duty of a state is to see that every child born therein shall be well housed, clothed, fed and educated till it attains years of discretion.

There is a serious tendency toward capitalism among the well-to-do peasants.

Whales only get harpooned when they come to the surface, and turtles can only move forward when they stick their neck out, but investors face risk no matter what they do.

I'm eighteen years behind in my ironing.

I always wanted to be known as a songwriter and not just a songbird.
