SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REACTIVE FLATTENING MAP FOR USE WITH A MICROSERVICES OR OTHER COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing a reactive flattening map for use with a microservices or other computing environment. In a cloud computing environment, reactive programming can be used with publishers and subscribers, to abstract execution away from the thread of execution while providing rigorous coordination of various state transitions. The described approach provides support for processing streams of data involving one or more publishers and subscribers, by use of a multi-flat-map publisher component, to flatten or otherwise combine events emitted by multiple publishers concurrently, into a single stream of events for use by a downstream subscriber.
