Introduction to reactive programming

Speaking of the basics of reactive programming, firstly, I would like to say that no solution/approach can fit each need. So, the projects have different problems and according to the problem, there are different solutions. One of them is the reactive programming approach. Here, we are going to learn how to make our applications more responsive, efficient, and robust in the face of specific requirements such as handling a huge number of requests and providing fast responses. As we work through the concepts and practices, you’ll see how this approach can fundamentally change the nature of the application you can build – making them fully prepared for the challenges posed by real-time user expectations and high data throughput. In the following section, we take a look at some of the basics of reactive programming.
