Hello Reactor community,

On behalf of the Reactor team and its heroic new contributors, I am delighted to announce that Reactor Dysprosium can now be found on your preferred Maven repositories, like this one.

It is the fourth release train since Reactor Core 3.x and it includes Reactor Core 3.3, Reactor Netty 0.9 and a newcomer, Reactor Pool 0.1. Check out the major change logs and release notes:

• reactor-core 3.3.0.RELEASE
• reactor-netty 0.9.0.RELEASE
• reactor-pool 0.1.0.RELEASE

Reactor Dysprosium modules still require JDK 8 or higher. They come with many performance improvements and we even…

The 12th Service Release for Californium is out. As per tradition, it fixes several issues and bring improvements all around.

The release is available on your preferred maven central repository.

With Dysprosium-RELEASE, our reactor-core 3.1.x and reactor-netty 0.7.x lines will not receive further patches. We encourage our users to update to Californium releases trains, which match Spring Boot 2.1.x and Spring Framework 5.1.x.

If you already are using Spring Boot 2.2.x and Spring Framework 5.2.x, you will be required to use Dysprosium including reactor-core 3.3.x and reactor-netty 0.9.x…

The 4th Generation of Reactor is arriving. On behalf of the team we want to thank all our community for the tremendous feedback. Over the last year we have grown our reactive line-up significantly including R2DBC and BlockHound. Our adoption in the java ecosystem looks phenomenal and we are collaborating with major corps including Microsoft and Google. We have more than doubled our regular Gitter audience with some awesome -you guessed it- reactive discussions happening every day. Finally, Sergei Egorov has joined the core team and we have no plans to stop expanding!

Dysprosium-M1 is available on our milestone repository. It is paving the way for more changes in the work. It's worth noting that 2 features are being deprecated, and evaluated for removal at the…

The 8th Service Release for Californium is out. Beyond fixing its share of issues, it is shipping with a turbo-charged reactor-netty -thanks to changes backported- from our new Dysprosium-M1 release.

Hey there,

It feels like SpringOne Platform was only yesterday, and I'm so excited by what's coming in September! It’s yet another excuse to chat, exchange, share, have a drink, and enjoy quality time with the Spring and Reactor communities, contributors and users alike.

I'll tell you a secret: as the project Reactor lead, this is one of my favorite places to capture amazing feedback and translate it into pull requests. I like spending hours replaying the software history with folks, talking about efficient distributed systems (or "microservices") because--Bingo! Reactive is all about these…

Have a look at our issues backlog…

After more than a year of work, multiple milestones and fine tuning based on much feedback, I have the pleasure of announcing Reactor 3 General Availability. You will find Reactor Core 3.0.2.RELEASE on Maven Central.

What is Reactor 3 ?

Reactor 3 provides a powerful and efficient reactive programming model for Java 8 based applications. The model builds upon the experience of both Reactor 2 and RxJava 1 and introduces a fluent way to compose asynchronous backpressure-ready event processing. Spring Framework 5 uses Reactor 3 to build and eventually expose a complete reactive story.

Its design relies on an extensible execution model that favors event processing colocation. Typically, Reactor will be jumping threads between event flow stages only when explicitly asked so. For instance, in-memory operations such as list access or payload transformation do not usually require a thread boundary. If the operation producer or receiver might take time, users are expected to operate their flow with Flux#publishOn / Mono#publishOn or Flux#subscribeOn / Mono#subscribeOn and choose a Scheduler to run on. Alternatively, if a user is combining the results of many Publisher as with …
