Full Reactive Stack with Spring Boot, WebFlux and MongoDB

This book is 100% complete

Completed on 2018-07-15

About the Book

Backend

You will learn how to develop Reactive Web endpoints using Spring Reactor and Spring WebFlux, the alternative to MVC. To make it full-reactive, you will use MongoDB since it provides a reactive driver integrated in Spring Data.

Frontend

This book shows how to build a simple Angular application (since the book focuses more on the backend) that uses RxJS and EventSource to connect to the reactive flow provided by the backend (supported by WebSockets).

Docker

To make easier the build and deploy of the application, the source code includes docker-compose files that you can use to run the complete reactive stack.

Benchmark and WebFlux vs. MVC analysis

The last chapter is focused on comparing MVC with WebFlux in a practical way, and analysing what are the pros/cons depending on your use case.

Source Code

All the source code related to this book is available on GitHub.

Note: This mini-book is is based on the posts Full Reactive Stack Guide, but their format has been adapted so it's easier to read as a complete guide.

About the Author

Moisés Macero
Moisés Macero

I'm developing software since I was a kid, when my parents bought me a Spectrum ZX (in which I also played great videogames...). I've worked at startups, where a developer is a real full-stack developer (from frontend to backend, from building to maintaining, from the cave to customer-facing meetings) and also at big companies, where stability and keeping high product quality standards is a must. Along my career I have been involved usually in development, design and architecture, for small and huge projects. Worked in waterfall and agile environments.

I'm now working at a Dutch company as Solutions Architect for a very ambitious project based on microservices with Spring Boot. I like writing documentation to help others to learn how to develop better software.

I'm also the author of the blog about software development ThePracticalDeveloper: https://thepracticaldeveloper.com and the book Learn Microservices with Spring Boot.
