We’ve used RxJS both in the browser client and in the Node.js server, showing how easy it is to use Observables to manage different areas of an application.

More importantly, we’ve seen that we can use RxJS in the same way on the client and on the server, bringing the Observable sequence abstraction everywhere in our application. And not only that. We could actually use RxJS concepts and operators across other programming languages, since RxJS is supported in many of them.

Next we’ll look at Schedulers, a more advanced object type in RxJS that allows us to control ...
