Answer
map() is synchronous, flatMap() is asynchronous.
In Project Reactor, map() transforms data synchronously within the same stream, while flatMap() allows for asynchronous operations, creating a new Reactive type. For example, if you have a Flux of user IDs and need to fetch user details from a remote service, you'd use flatMap() to perform the async network calls.
