Answer
Buffering, dropping, and latest. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Project Reactor offers several strategies to handle backpressure. Buffering stores excess items, dropping discards them, and latest keeps only the most recent items. For example, in a high-frequency trading system, using the 'latest' strategy can ensure only the most current stock price is kept when the Subscriber lags, maintaining relevance.
