Spring Boot 2.0 supports building reactive Spring MVC applications and also has a starter POM to provide components with Reactor Core 3.x libraries. Likewise, it has the capability to easily integrate with RxJava 2.x APIs to provide us with another option for building reactive transactions. This recipe will be about creating a web application with a 100% reactive web framework of Spring 5.
