Love scalability?
Hate blocking kernel threads?
Hate callback hell?
Want to squash the pyramid of doom?
Well, now you can have your cake and eat it…
Vertx-sync allows you to deploy verticles that run using fibers. Fibers are very lightweight threads that can be blocked without blocking a kernel thread.
This enables you to write your verticle code in a familiar synchronous style (i.e. no callbacks or promises or Rx).
As no kernel threads are blocked your application retains the scalability advantages of a non (kernel thread) blocking application.
Please see the in source asciidoc documentation or the main documentation on the web-site for a full description of vertx-sync
