Reactive programming is about non-blocking, event-driven applications that scale with a small number of threads, with back pressure being a key ingredient that aims to ensure producers don’t overwhelm consumers.
The primary benefits of reactive programming are:
- increased utilization of computing resources on multicore and multi-CPU hardware
- and increased performance by reducing serialization
Reactive programming is generally event-driven, in contrast to reactive systems, which are message-driven. Thus, using reactive programming does not mean we’re building a reactive system, which is an architectural style.
