RxJava – Reactive Extensions for the JVM – a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences for the Java VM.
Hi guys! I have next question, I'm trying to use rxjava because I heard a lot that it's easy to handle situation when your api under high pressure on your service layer. I decided to try but it looks like I do not understand main idea. So imagine I have next method which exposed thru the REST endpoint
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/pushData", produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8_VALUE)
public Single<String> pushData(@RequestBody String json) How I can slowdown a pressure on the logic inside this method? Is it a right way of thinking or I should slow it down the level of Undertow/Jetty/Netty by applying some strategy on it.

Single implies a single result so backpressure is not really at play there. If you want to reduce the call frequency to pushData itself, there are ways for it, such as using concatMap or flatMap with concurrency limit, spanning out the source events over time, etc. You could also research Retrofit use cases similar to your problem.
@akarnokd what is Retrofit?
public Single<String> pushJsonDataAsync(String json) {
return Single.create(source -> {
try {
PushCrawlerDataRequest.Builder request = PushCrawlerDataRequest.newBuilder();
JsonFormat.parser().merge(json, request);
PushCrawlerDataResponse.Builder builder = pushData(request.build());
source.onSuccess(JsonFormat.printer().print(builder));
} catch (Exception ex) {
source.onError(ex);
}
});
}
