are requested not to join sessions
after a 5 minutes threshold post
the session start time.
Feedback
Make sure to submit a constructive
feedback for all sessions as it is
very helpful for the presenter.

What is Reactive Programming
● Reactive programming describes a design
paradigm that relies on asynchronous
programming logic to handle real-time
updates to otherwise static content.
● It provides an efficient means - the use of
automated data streams to handle data
updates to content whenever a user makes
an inquiry.
● Reactive programming creates software
that responds to events rather than solicits
inputs from users.
To understand in simple terms, Reactive Programming can be represented in the following way:
RP = Observable + Observer + Schedulers

Flux and Mono
● It implements the Publisher interface and, it is just a reactive stream that pushes elements
whenever the subscriber instructs it to do so. It returns 0 to 1 element.
Mono<String> mono = Mono.just("Knoldus");
Mono<String> mono = Mono.empty();
● Mono is a special case in which the reactive stream will either emit only one item or none. It
contains a different set of methods to, for instance, concatenate Mono streams into a Flux. It
returns 0 to N elements.
Flux<String> flux = Flux.just("A", "B", "C");
Flux<String> flux = Flux.fromArray(new String[]{"A", "B", "C"});
Flux<String> flux = Flux.fromIterable(Arrays.asList("A", "B", "C")

When to use Reactive Programming?
One of the most common use-case for using RP is when you need handling of
asynchronous data streams. I am going to mention some real-world applications where
Reactive Programming is being used presently.
● Developing mobile applications using Reactive Programming.
● Reactive Programming in the Netflix API with RxJava
● Going reactive provides an elegant solution when it comes to specific types of
high-load or multi-user applications.
○ Social networks, chats
○ Games
○ Audio and video apps (more so in streaming)

Component of Reactive Programming?
The picture below demonstrates how reactive programming works.

10.
Three major component of Reactive Programming are:
1. Producers
2. Consumers
3. Data pipeline
1. Producers:
Producers are the source of your data. A stream must always have a producer of data,
which will be the starting for any logic that you will perform in RxJS.
2. Consumers:
Consumers are the components that accept events from the producer and process them
in some way. When the consumer begins listening to the producer for events, you now
have a stream. It is at this point that the stream begins to push events; we’ll refer to a
consumer as an observer.
3. Data Pipeline:
The biggest benefit of reactive programming is you can edit the data as it passes from
producer to consumer.

Reactive Principles
● Responsive
● Resilient
● Elastic
● Message Driven

12.
Features of Reactive Programming?
● Provide better control over the response times associated with the processing of
events.
● Enable consistency in software design for real-time systems, to reduce development
and maintenance costs and effort.
● Support load balancing and resiliency to improve quality of experience.
● Make the concept of a stream or event flow explicit, improving overall management of
compute elements and processing resources by making them more "visual".
