The book presents the principles, patterns, and best practices of Reactive application design. You'll learn how to keep one slow component from bogging down others with the Circuit Breaker pattern, how to shepherd a many-staged transaction to completion with the Saga pattern, how to divide datasets by Sharding, and more. The authors give advice on how to keep your source code readable and the system testable despite many potential interactions and points of failure. A free e-book is included with the print version of this title.
