Answer
It lets Subscribers request a specific number of items from the Publisher.
In Reactive Streams, the Subscriber uses the request(n) method to control the flow of data. This is particularly useful when the Subscriber processes data at a slower pace than it's produced. For instance, a logging service might request data in chunks of 10 to process logs in batches, avoiding memory overflow.
