As we may have noticed throughout this section, RSocket is a convenient way to build a high-throughput and low-latency reactive system based on asynchronous peer-to-peer communications employing a Reactive Streams specification. In general, the RSocket protocol seeks to reduce perceived latency and increase system efficiency. That may be achievable with the support of non-blocking communication via a duplex connection. Along with that, RSocket is designed with the purpose of reducing a hardware footprint. In turn, RSocket is a protocol that may be implemented in any language. Finally, the implementation of RSocket in Java is built on top of Project Reactor, which gives a powerful programming model out of the box.

In general, the RSocket community is skyrocketing and looks promising. For now, the project is actively maintained by Facebook and Netifi, and, in the near future, is going to be joined by other companies.
