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

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

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).

Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace.

I couldn't get as big as a bodybuilder. I tried to put on as much weight in the right places as I could. My weightlifting was impressive for me, but not for some of the guys I see down at the gym.

My sister wanted to be an actress, but she never made it. She does live in a trailer. She got halfway. She's an actress, she just never gets called to the set.

It's hard to get the downtrodden working-class wifey sometimes because 'You don't look like it'. Well, that's weird because I grew up on a scheme in Paisley. But everyone's got a viewpoint about what you should look like, and it's tainted by prejudices and assumptions.

I got that idea from being in India. I always like the chanting.

Some people say it's scarier to direct the people you work with; not me, I'm a team guy.

We cannot have communion with Christ till we are in union with Him and we cannot have communion with the Church till we are in vital union with it.

I'm not looking to exclude people, I'm looking to include them.

A budget isnt about restricting what you can spend. It gives you permission to spend without guilt or regret.

Craving, not having, is the mother of a reckless giving of oneself.

For the most ambitious young people, the corporate ladder is obsolete.

True reconciliation does not consist in merely forgetting the past.

Don't get yourself in certain circumstances or instances, because it's not a good feeling to be sitting in that chair where you've got 12 people that are in control of your life. You have an opportunity to be in control of your life for yourself by the decisions that you make.

Now, drama is quite useful at helping us to understand what our position is and, conversely, we might then understand why our theatre is being destroyed.

I was taught to think the next week or month or year will only get better than it is today. So I just keep waiting to see how great it will get!

I've mellowed quite quickly.

I think 'The Lost World' could've been a successful movie except for the fact that it pre-dated the good special effects and computer graphics.

On films, you have the liberty of working out the details, the psychology, taking maybe more risks and takes than you can in television just because you can't be figuring things out on the day.

Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns.

One must know combinations, one must have a true knowledge of food to be in the moment.

I think people need to be treated with respect, and that's what we've demanded from everyone.

Fred Moten is a poet I really love because he changes who is telling the poem all the time.
