Answer
Flux processes data asynchronously and applies backpressure to manage flow.
Flux represents a potentially unbounded sequence of asynchronous events. It uses a demand-driven model where a Subscriber requests a specific number of items. This demand-based mechanism, known as backpressure, aligns the data flow with the Subscriber's capacity, preventing memory overload. Imagine an e-commerce application streaming live price updates. Flux allows you to process each price update as it arrives, only requesting more when you're ready, ensuring your server doesn't crash even under high load.
