Embracing Our Reactive Future

[mattpodwysocki]

In the Node.js world, reactive programming is a way of life. What do I mean by Reactive? Simply this, readily responsive to events, nothing more! No, it doesn't mean the Reactive Manifesto, nor React from Facebook.

As we build larger applications, event-driven reactive architectures become harder to reason about as it becomes just a mess of events passing and state management. Let's cut to the chase and talk about how we can embrace reactive programming and patterns associated with it to build a better system.

We can answer the following questions:

• How do we handle state management?
• How do we avoid race conditions between events?
• How do we handle errors?
• How can we recover from errors and retry?

Join us in the reactive future!
