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).

"Thoughtless" minds are "pocket-less" beings.

I firmly believe that you live and learn, and if you don't learn from past mistakes, then you need to be drug out and shot.

I won't be satisfied until people want to hear me sing without looking at me. Of course, that doesn't mean I want them to stop looking.

And so for a couple of years my life was divided between my music and my school books.

A lot of people thought I'd died, because of your coverage, they know I'm still around.

No one knows quite the reason, but surgically severing the corpus callosum can reduce the rate and intensity of seizures. So in the early 1960s, a few patients with severe epilepsy had their corpus callosums cut, turning them into split-brain people.

I wish I had less fear about creating my own parts.

Religion is more like response to a friend than it is like obedience to an expert.

When I am true to my inspiration, even fight for my design, the project always turns out well.

There are always things that I'd love to do. As an actor, none of them are specific; all I'm looking for are things that are good quality, that are challenging for me to work on, and even better if I get to work with people that I respect and am excited to work with.

I'm the artist when I'm doing music that I am when I'm acting. I'm everything.

One of the things that I have learned since trying to bring in an interesting story in under 28 pages is that we already agree on great chunks of typical superhero stories.

The more things remain obscure and mysterious, the more they interest me. I even try to find mystery in things that have none.

I have short hair. It doesn't make me more unattractive than a woman or my sisters that have more longer hair and a bit lighter.

'Doctor Who' began as family television: a show that kids and their parents and grandparents can all watch, maybe even together, on the sofa.

Compare sending someone a text message and getting a love letter delivered by carrier pigeon. No contest.

A Goddaughter is a treasure whose worth you cannot measure except by the love in your heart.

It's really not important what my personal life is.

The martyrdom of Lalaji has shaken the Congressmen. Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru is planning something solid to be presented for adoption in the coming session of the Congress, but I am not sure if he would be able to do something.

If there's one thing I could wish for right now, it would be to have one of those horses from the merry-go-round - they were the most exciting thing to go on as a kid.

I know it's a lot harder for women who don't have enough help, but the truth is, no matter how much money you have, if you want to stay involved with your children and don't want to lose being a primary parent to them, you're still in the game.

I want to work and be happy.

I know what the intimidation level of high school is. You're on a hamster wheel, running, running, running, trying so hard to fit in. It's all about how you deal with what you're given, feeling OK with being the odd man out before you're finally successful.

I was always a keen reader. I jotted down one or two things, but it never occurred to me to think of a job in writing. I thought that writers were like demi-gods. I don't know what I thought.
