Resource utilization. Responsiveness is achieved by efficiently using the hardware. Better resource utilization is a component of scalability.

Decoupling promotes scale-out, as various components can be scaled independently. Asynchronous communication is key to achieve decoupling. It separates the lifecycle of the request initiator from the lifecycle of the request target.

Reactive System Tenets according to the Reactive Manifesto

  • Responsiveness refers to the capability of the system to be consistently responsive to the user and never fail; it refers to the value brought by such systems.
  • Resilience is the capability of the system to self-heal, and refers to form in which reactive systems are delivered.
  • Elasticity is the capability of the system to scale out and up/ in and down across physical and cloud infrastructure refers to form in which reactive systems are delivered.
  • Message-driven refers to the means used to implement reactive systems. A message-driven system is powered by means of asynchronous, non-blocking communication. This enables first and foremost isolation.
