Reactive Stream Flavors

QUALITY. PRODUCTIVITY. INNOVATION.

1. Reactive Streams Specification v.1- Released on 30 April 2015- Contributions from Pivotal, Redhat, TypeSafe, Netflix- Includes a Technology Compatibility Kit- Only on JVM ecosystem (for now)

2. Reactive Extensions API- Multiple implementations (including .Net and Ruby)- A Netflix Original Production- Reactive Streams spec v.0.9 (kind-of)- Interops through RxJava Reactive Streams project
