Reading Time: 4 minutes Introduction A few years ago Reactive Programming was introduced as an improvement upon the imperative programming paradigm. It provides some important advantages over the imperative way by relying on asynchronous programming. These days we see a lot of enterprise applications use the reactive way but still, there are ones using the imperative approach. In this blog, we will try to explore what are the differences Continue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutes Spring Boot provides very good support for building RESTful Web Services for enterprise applications. This blog will explain building RESTful web services using Spring Boot in detail with a pinch of reactive programming using web flux. I will mostly be walking through the code snippets which we can use to quickly start with the web flux without having to dive deep. It is like a Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes In this blog, I would be providing an overview of the spring reactor project, which is a reactive library based on the reactive specifications so let’s get started. Introduction Spring framework started support for reactive programming in version 5 via project reactor. Project Reactor is a fully non-blocking foundation with back-pressure support also included. It’s the foundation of the reactive stack in the Spring ecosystem Continue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutes 1. Overview In this article, we’ll get introduced to the Spring Reactor project and its importance. The idea is to take advantage of the Reactive Streams Specification to build non-blocking reactive applications on the JVM. Using this knowledge, we’ll try to build a simple reactive application and compare it to a traditional blocking application. 2. Conventional APIs are blocking Modern applications deal with a high number of concurrent users Continue Reading
Reading Time: 7 minutes The FinTech industry is growing very rapidly and becoming more vital. This industry has also become an appealing alternative to traditional banking. With the rise of the FinTech industry, there is always a battle going around the use of technology that fits the best. Those technologies are always used and promoted which not only suit the business needs, but are also easy to maintain, easy Continue Reading

Reading Time: 6 minutes Effects are the kind of utility that’s provided by the redux-saga package. when u invokes effects it returns object contains instructions which redux-saga interprets. The effects don’t have any special property outside the redux-saga application because it’s redux-saga that generates side effects like API call database or something else, The effect itself doesn’t actually do anything. If you don’t know how to create a Saga, Continue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutes With the introduction of Java 9, Java community has started to show its support directly towards Reactive streams, which was earlier used by leveraging third-party libraries. Please visit my earlier blog on Reactive streams to understand the basic ideologies which are working behind it like the push-pull model or backpressure. As a part of this blog, we will explore how we can leverage the same Continue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutes In Java, we are often tempted towards writing a code which is executed eagerly. There’s a good reason for that – eager code is easy to write and to reason about. But delaying commitments until the last responsible moment is a good agile practice. When executing the code, we can gain performance by being just a little lazy. In this blog, we will try to Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes Recently I got an invitation to present a guest lecture for faculty of Engineering colleges in ABES college of Engineering. I came up with the most trending topic i.e Reactive Architecture. We talked about what is this buzzing keywords and why does it came into existence. Also What are the challenges one were facing and how are the real world problems being solved by using Continue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutes In the world of cloud computing, big data and IoT, system and application requirements have changed by leaps and bounds in recent years. Even the challenges being faced by developers and enterprises today are way different from the ones that they faced, say, a decade or two earlier. Find out why should modern enterprises opt for reactive systems today?
Reading Time: 3 minutes With a lot of buzz in the programming world about “reactive Programming”, a new concept following the same path has been introduced. This is “Reactive streams” backed up by the idea of backpressure. In this blog, we try to understand, what does it mean exactly? What are Reactive Streams? We are here talking about handling streams of data that needs to be handled in an Continue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutes A few months back, I was working on interesting customer engagement. Lagom was getting popularity, therefore, I and my few team members wanted to explore it to see if it would suit our needs. Just reading its documentation was not enough to get the proper practical hands-on. So we thought to do a project. The idea was that we should not build a dummy project, Continue Reading
