Java: WebFlux vs Virtual Threads
Answer
It defines a set of interfaces for asynchronous data processing.
The Reactive Streams Specification provides a standard for handling streams of data asynchronously with non-blocking back pressure. It introduces four main interfaces: Publisher, Subscriber, Subscription, and Processor. For example, a Publisher can emit items to a Subscriber as they become available, helping to efficiently process requests like incoming data on a stock trading platform.
