Responsiveness: Principles of Reactive Programming

This lecture covers the concept of responsiveness in the context of reactive programming, emphasizing the importance of timely system responses for availability. It explores the relationship between responsiveness, resilience, and overload scenarios, showcasing how exploiting parallelism can reduce latency. The discussion extends to managing load to maintain responsiveness, introducing techniques like circuit breakers and bulkheading to enhance system reliability. The lecture concludes by highlighting the significance of event-driven systems for achieving scalability while ensuring responsiveness, resilience, and scalability.
