Description: Reactive streams are an initiative that aims to establish a standard for the asynchronous processing of data streams, allowing for efficient and non-blocking communication between software components. Reactive streams provide an API for handling data reactively, meaning that systems can react to events and changes in data dynamically, rather than following a traditional sequential processing approach. Reactive streams allow handling large volumes of data and multiple simultaneous connections without the need to create additional threads, optimizing resource usage and improving application scalability. Additionally, reactive programming is based on the concept of ‘backpressure’, which allows data consumers to control the rate at which they receive information, thus preventing system overload. This methodology is particularly useful in applications that require high availability and performance, such as web services, mobile applications, and real-time event processing systems.
