    Hello Chris, This is a very nice post and I was waiting for such a post in fact.

    I have one question on Netty. Although I saw RxNetty in Netflix's Github site, but I am still not able to understand how you deploy the application inside Netty. Are you using some kind of container based on Netty?

  • Excellent

    Ben covers questions like "why reactive?" and "how to switch to reactive?" in a very practical, real-world style.
