Overview

Spring 5 comes with a new web reactive stack, consisting of a new reactive web framework, Spring WebFlux, and a reactive REST Client WebClient. Reactive programming support is extended to non-blocking data repositories with reactive support for Redis, MongoDB, Cassandra and Couchbase. Reactive support is built in top of Project Reactor, a Java library for working with reactive types. Reactive programming aims to provide greater scalability and improved performance due to better use of a smaller number of threads, thanks to non-blocking operations.
