About this Book

This book is intended to be a comprehensive guide to understanding and designing Reactive systems. Therefore, it includes not only an annotated version of the Reactive Manifesto, but also the reasoning that led to its inception. The main part of the book is a selection of design patterns that implement many facets of Reactive system design, with pointers toward deeper literature resources for further study. While the presented patterns form a cohesive whole, the list is not exhaustive—it cannot be—but the included background knowledge will enable the reader to identify, distill, and curate new patterns as the need arises.
