Java: WebFlux vs Virtual Threads
Answer
When the workload is stream-heavy or holds many slow connections open concurrently.
WebFlux shines when the system is dominated by connection-heavy or stream-shaped workloads such as live price feeds, WebSockets, or many long waits on non-blocking I/O. For ordinary CRUD flows with blocking dependencies, virtual threads often preserve simpler code with enough scalability.
