Reactive Manifesto

In 2013, a working group of experts from some of the biggest software companies in the world published the Reactive Manifesto that set the basis of how reactive systems are understood and work, this manifesto is available on https://github.com/reactivemanifesto/reactivemanifesto.

Let's review what the Manifesto said:

First, the Manifesto introduces the current landscape of modern applications, focusing on how this demands a new kind of system that needs to respond to way more data and faster than before, and has to be scalable, resilient and fault tolerant. The intention of the Manifesto is to have a coherent approach to those problems and define reactive systems and what benefits we get from them. Many of those topics were discussed in our Microservices principles section, so it probably is a good idea to review them, but now we need to do a deep dive of how reactive systems are defined in the Manifesto.
