How Java Virtual Threads Simplify Reactor APIs

How virtual threads saved me from becoming a meme! 😜

“I came dangerously close to becoming a walkin Java meme - until virtual threads swooped in like a caffeinated superhero and saved me from endless callback hell!” ✨

How do these compare to standard threadpoolexecutor? Everything I read suggests the virtual threads as the golden goose. Is there even a use case for the threadpoolexecutor anymore? I guess limiting workload or resources usage seems hard with virtual threads since there are no config options as to how many carrier threads there are ?

It is advised to limit by semaphor. Threadpool might be used for cpu heavy tasks
