In Part 1, we covered a reactive web and a simple blocking and non-blocking call. In this part, we will be covering, in-depth, the thread execution and business flow.
3) Non Blocking Call With Thread Execution
The diagram looks complex, but what we are doing is starting a new thread from the request thread and then calling the reactive function. Again, creating the new thread from the previous thread to do some console printing. What we want to test or achieve here is that both reactive sum() function and console printing happens in parallel. Execution of sum() is not blocking the start and print of the new thread.
