Mapping Java Reactive Streams Onto Reactive Programming Principles

This video discusses how Java's reactive streams implementations, specifically RxJava and Project Reactor, align with the principles in the Reactive Programming Manifesto. I emphasize the importance of responsiveness, achieving low latency and predictable response times through non-blocking operations and specific operators like subscribeOn(), publishOn(), and observeOn(). I highlight resilience through exceptional handling that isolates failures in asynchronous operations. I explain auto-scaling capabilities using various thread pools for efficient and scalable performance to achieve elasticity. Finally, I delve into the message-driven nature of these frameworks, where internal messaging underpins operations, aligning with the manifesto's key principles.
