bookIntroduction to Reactive Programming

Note
Definition

Reactive programming is a modern approach to building software that responds to data changes, user actions, and system events in real time. Instead of processing data in a strict, step-by-step order, reactive programming lets you create applications that are more flexible, efficient, and responsive.

In reactive systems, you describe how your application should react when something happensβ€”such as a new message arriving, a button being clicked, or a file being updated. This is especially important for building scalable and resilient applications that handle many users or high volumes of data.

By using reactive programming in Java, you can:

  • Build applications that respond quickly to user input and external events;
  • Manage complex data flows without blocking threads or wasting resources;
  • Create systems that are easier to scale and maintain over time.

Understanding reactive programming is essential for modern Java developers who want to deliver high-performance, user-friendly, and maintainable applications.
