This document discusses reactive programming and its applications. It introduces reactive programming concepts like Observables and Subscribers. It then covers implementing reactive backends with frameworks like RxJava and Spring, including reactive databases, services, and third party APIs. It also discusses reactive web frontends using Angular, covering reactive HTTP requests, Server-Sent Events through Observables, and wrapping WebSockets in Observables. The document advocates that reactive programming allows building flexible, scalable systems and is available to use with frameworks like Spring and Angular today.
