Mono
Mono is another type of Reactor can emit only one item at the most. An asynchronous task that just wants to signal completion can use a Mono. Mono mainly deals with a stream of one element, as opposed to Flux's N elements.
Both Flux and Mono make use of this semantic by coercing to the relevant type when using some operations. For example, concatenating two Monos together will produce a Flux; on the other hand, calling single() on Flux<T> will return a Mono <T>.
Both Flux and Mono are Reactive Streams (RS) publisher implementations and conform to Reactive-pull back pressure.
Mono is used in specific scenarios like an HTTP request that produces only one response. In such cases, using Mono would be the right choice.
Returning a Mono<HttpResponse> for an HTTP request like the scenario mentioned earlier is better than returning a Flux<HttpResponse>, as it offers only operators that are relevant to a context of zero items or one item.
Mono can be used to represent no-value asynchronous processes that only have the concept of completion.
