There is no denying the fact that we are more connected than ever today and this connectivity only seems to increase by the day. The world today has shrunk within a small handheld mobile device, hasn’t it? Smarter technology is bringing not only the world but the future closer.

Alongside, this trend has exponentially increased the rate of data generation. Servers are not the only high-volume data-sources anymore. Mobile devices and internet of things (IoT) are churning out a copious amount of information each second. As the number of smartphones and connected devices grows, this inflow of data multiplies too. It should be noted that this data is multiplying with each second and getting more and more massive in size.

I hesitated as my mouth hung open a bit. A senior leader in a development organization had just asked, "Why is product important?"

Why Product?

We’d been discussing an evolution in thinking in our industry — the movement from being process-focused to being progress-focused and now, the need to be product-focused. He innocently asked the question as he attempted to process the idea that what we build is more important than how quickly and efficiently we build it.

In today’s software world, everything’s changed when it comes to operational (non-functional) requirements. We have applications running on thousands of cores, producing petabytes of data, and, of course, users expect to have a response time under 100ms. Several years ago, we used to build systems that blocked certain operations because programming models used back then didn’t allow many asynchronous things to happen in code. Unfortunately, these systems aren’t as responsive as we expect them to be, they cannot be scaled that easily, and they use processor time waiting for operations to complete when they could do something else (processing another request, doing some background calculations, etc.).

The Reactive Manifesto was created in order to define the properties of a system that’s able to respond to the aforementioned challenges. Systems that are reactive are Message Driven, Responsive, Resilient, and Elastic (Image 1). In this blog post, I’ll focus on how the Axon Framework helps us build reactive systems.
