Adapting to Project Reactor / Webflux Mindset

No using .block() the event loop

If you are going to block, block it the reactive way

Methods should always return a Mono or Flux

Until something is part of the return chain tree, it won’t be executed.

Use Mono.error() instead of throwing

Mono methods should not throw anything

Instead of:

.flatmap(pojo-> {
    throw new RunTimeException();
})

use:

.flatMap(pojo-> {
    return Mono.error(new RuntimeException());
}

Use Mono.fromFuture to convert from CompletableFuture to Mono

use .collectList() only when needed

Always keep things within mono flux chain

The way to hold on to a previous mono flatMap return is nested mono, flux call.

But try to keep things as flat as possible.
