Vert.x is an open source Eclipse toolkit used to build distributed and reactive systems that provides a flexible way to write applications that are lightweight and responsive through its implementations of Reactive Stream principles.
It is designed to be cloud-native: it allows many processes to run with very few resources (threads, CPU, and so on). In this way, Vert.x applications can use their CPU quotas more effectively in cloud environments. There is not unnecessary overhead caused by the creation of a great number of new threads.
