Reactive Systems Architecture allows Application Teams to focus on the functional business requirements, leaving the task of addressing various non-functional requirements to the underlying framework, platform components and infrastructure.

The non-functional requirements include, but are not limited to, security, traffic management, infrastructure-independent deployment, scalability, resiliency, high availability, consistent message delivery, delivery auditing, message delivery for failed/absent consumers, application lifecycle management, live/silent mode testing, stateful stream processing, strong consistency, observability, root cause detection and recovery.
