Resilience is an important aspect of reactive systems. As per the Reactive Manifesto, a reactive system must remain responsive during failure. The system must handle errors gracefully, and generate a user response in a timely manner. This cannot be accomplished without an effective error handling mechanism. Reactor offers a number of operators to handle errors. In this chapter, we will look at each of them.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Handling errors
- Error operators
- Timeout and retry
- WebClient error handling
