Most examples of reactive programming start off with streaming arrays of numbers. It might not be immediately obvious how this is useful for writing web services.
We'll go over reactive programming concepts and an introduction to RxJava and then discuss what makes reactive programming useful for web services. I'll show how to solve a few common use cases like: fetching data from a web service, fetching data from a jdbc connection, combining data from multiple sources and dealing with rate limiting.
Most examples will be using Ratpack, but I'll show some using grails 3 as well.
