Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients. 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.

Reactor is a fourth-generation Reactive library for building non-blocking applications on the JVM based on the Reactive Streams Specification.  Reactor is a fully non-blocking foundation with efficient demand management. It directly interacts with Java functional API, Completable Future, Stream and Duration. Reactor Operators and Schedulers can sustain high throughput rates on the order of 10's of millions of messages per second.

Vert.x is a tool-kit for building reactive applications on the JVM. Vert.x is event driven and non blocking. This means your app can handle a lot of concurrency using a small number of kernel threads. Vert.x lets your app scale with minimal hardware.Vert.x is incredibly flexible - whether it's simple network utilities, sophisticated modern web applications, HTTP/REST microservices, high volume event processing or a full blown back-end message-bus application.

RxJava is a Java VM implementation of Reactive Extensions: a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs by using observable sequences. It extends the observer pattern to support sequences of data/events and adds operators that allow you to compose sequences together declaratively while abstracting away concerns about things like low-level threading, synchronization, thread-safety and concurrent data structures.

The Atmosphere Framework contains client and server side components for building Asynchronous Web Applications. It transparently supports WebSockets, Server Sent Events (SSE), Long-Polling, HTTP Streaming (Forever frame) and JSONP. Its mission is to make real time apps possible in every browser, library and mobile device, blurring the differences between the different transport mechanisms.
 
The Atmosphere Framework Stack works on all Servlet based servers, Spring Boot and frameworks like Netty, Play! Framework and Vert.x. We support a variety of extensions like Apache Kafka, Hazelcast, RabbitMQ, Redis and many more.

Fiorano ESB enables application integration by choreographing Microservices into asynchronous flows via the Fiorano Studio and associated tools. The Component Control Protocol (CCP), a wire-level protocol, allows the asynchronous communication between the ESB server and micro services being choreographed/orchestrated into application flows. The transport is pluggable and any available JMS engine may be used such as Apache ActiveMQ, JBOSS, TIBCO, IBM, RabbitMQ and FioranoMQ.

EA Async implements Async-Await methods in the JVM. It allows programmers to write asynchronous code in a sequential fashion. It is heavily inspired by Async-Await on the .NET CLR. EA Async should be used to write non-blocking asynchronous code that makes heavy use of CompletableFutures or CompletionStage. It improves scalability by freeing worker threads while your code awaits other processes; And improves productivity by making asynchronous code simpler and more readable.
