Netty vs RxJS: What are the differences?

Developers describe Netty as "Asynchronous event-driven network application framework". Netty is a NIO client server framework which enables quick and easy development of network applications such as protocol servers and clients. It greatly simplifies and streamlines network programming such as TCP and UDP socket server. On the other hand, RxJS is detailed as "The Reactive Extensions for JavaScript". RxJS is a library for reactive programming using Observables, to make it easier to compose asynchronous or callback-based code. This project is a rewrite of Reactive-Extensions/RxJS with better performance, better modularity, better debuggable call stacks, while staying mostly backwards compatible, with some breaking changes that reduce the API surface.

Netty and RxJS belong to "Concurrency Frameworks" category of the tech stack.

Netty and RxJS are both open source tools. It seems that Netty with 19.9K GitHub stars and 9.05K forks on GitHub has more adoption than RxJS with 19.7K GitHub stars and 2.26K GitHub forks.

Portfolium, Free Code Camp, and Onefootball are some of the popular companies that use RxJS, whereas Netty is used by Outbrain, Appian, and Rapido. RxJS has a broader approval, being mentioned in 57 company stacks & 44 developers stacks; compared to Netty, which is listed in 11 company stacks and 14 developer stacks.

What are some alternatives to Netty and RxJS?

Jetty

Jetty is used in a wide variety of projects and products, both in development and production. Jetty can be easily embedded in devices, tools, frameworks, application servers, and clusters. See the Jetty Powered page for more uses of Jetty.

Mina

Mina works really fast because it's a deploy Bash script generator. It generates an entire procedure as a Bash script and runs it remotely in the server. Compare this to the likes of Vlad or Capistrano, where each command is run separately on their own SSH sessions. Mina only creates one SSH session per deploy, minimizing the SSH connection overhead.

Apache Tomcat

Apache Tomcat powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations.

Undertow

It is a flexible performant web server written in java, providing both blocking and non-blocking API’s based on NIO. It has a composition based architecture that allows you to build a web server by combining small single purpose handlers. The gives you the flexibility to choose between a full Java EE servlet 4.0 container, or a low level non-blocking handler, to anything in between.

Akka

Akka is a toolkit and runtime for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM.
