Mark Heckler, Oleh Dokuka RSocket + Spring A full throttle introduction

You ve evolved from monolith to microservices, from blocking code to reactive, all in pursuit of better scaling and resource maximization. And you re so close How do you cross the final frontier the network boundary and wring out the ultimate in system performance, flexibility, and systemwide scalability Enter RSocket, a transportindependent binary protocol from performanceobsessed industry and individual contributors. Building upon the reactive streams paradigm and Project Reactor, RSocket knocks down the (network) walls separating your microservices and enables you to truly treat them as a fullyinterconnected system while providing mechanisms that increase flexibility and resilience instead of reducing it. RSocket has four interaction models to support all the use cases: request, response; request, stream; fire forget; channel (bidirectional stream).
