This document provides an overview of reactive programming with Spring Framework 5, Spring Boot 2, and Project Reactor. It introduces the speaker as an author, speaker, architect and developer who seeks a better way. It then defines reactive programming as non-blocking, event-driven applications that scale with few threads using backpressure. The document also lists the 4 interfaces of Reactive Streams and notes that Project Reactor will provide a quick overview of it. It concludes by thanking the audience and providing contact details for the speaker.

“In a nutshell reactive programming is about
non-blocking, event-driven applications that
scale with a small number of threads with
backpressure as a key ingredient that
aims to ensure producers
do not overwhelm consumers.”
