Reflectoring: Reactive Architecture with Spring Boot

Based on asynchronous event processing, message-driven data streams, and non-blocking I/O reactive programming is a popular paradigm for developing web and cloud applications, particularly large-scale and distributed ones using a microservices architecture. Some time ago, I published a tiny introductory post on reactive programming with Spring Boot and Spring WebFlux. Reflectoring has this much more in-depth article on reactive architecture with Spring Boot, which covers everything from building a traditional synchronous-style application, converting such an application to a reactive architecture, and using and ...

Lombok is one of those helpful developer tools for the Java language ecosystem that streamline (or even do away with entirely) the more tedious and mundane tasks in software development. Lombok in particular vastly reduces the boilerplate code Java developers have to write by providing annotations that have code for common structures and patterns such as constructors, getters and setters, and builders automatically generated. While tremendously helpful, sometimes edge cases can occur when working with theses kinds of abstractions and as a ...
