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?

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