A Reactive Stream treats data as an asynchronous flowing river of events.
Reactive Streams are a programming paradigm where data is treated as a stream of events, flowing asynchronously. Instead of waiting for a single response, the stream continuously pushes data, errors, or completion signals to the Subscriber. In an e-commerce application, a live price update system can emit price changes as they happen, keeping the client interface updated in real-time.
