Spring WebFlux provides reactive, async, non-blocking programming support for web applications in an annotated Controller format similar to SpringMVC.
This approach is similar to how Node.js uses an async, non-blocking model which helps make it more scalable. Spring WebFlux uses a similar model but with multiple event loops.
Spring WebFlux moves away from the thread-per-request blocking model in traditional SpringMVC (with Tomcat by default) and moves towards a multi-EventLoop, async, non-blocking (with Netty by default) paradigm with back-pressure that is more scalable and efficient than traditional blocking code.
