Merge Risk: Low · previous review 6f987

This article adds a Reactive Messaging tutorial. Its dead letter queue configuration example omits a setting needed for the described malformed-record behavior, and two explanatory statements are technically inaccurate. Readers could be misled or see unexpected behavior if they copy the configuration. Fix these before publishing; no production system is affected.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @draft/reactive-messaging-on-quarkus/index.adoc:
- Around line 1455-1456: Correct the broker explanation in the stage 3 section:
state that Kafka Dev Services shares a broker between applications in dev mode
by default, and that separate brokers require different service names or
disabled sharing. Remove the incorrect claim that each service would start its
own broker and the resulting justification for requiring the prod profile.
- Around line 883-884: Update the incoming signals configuration alongside the
failure-strategy and dead-letter queue serializer settings to set
fail-on-deserialization-failure to false, so malformed records can reach the
dead letter topic as described.
- Line 221: Update the back-pressure cell for @RunOnVirtualThread to state that
the framework still controls demand and that any additional application-specific
capacity limit must be configured explicitly. Preserve the distinction between
framework-level demand control and application-level capacity limits.

Thanks, @nicolasduminil, for the article! Can you please review the CodeRabbit comments to see if any content changes are needed? Please ping me if the article is ready for scheduling/publishing.

[nicolasduminil]

@FDelporte Thank you. I reviewed the three CodeRabbit comments, and all three were valid. They are fixed in 56baf4b and 9c85283, and I replied on each thread. The article is ready for scheduling.

[FDelporte]

Thanks @nicolasduminil, the article is scheduled for publication on Monday 23 November 2026.

While preparing it I only set the date, moved the bundle to content/posts/2026/11/23/reactive-messaging-on-quarkus/ and resized two images. The text, header image and categories are unchanged.

It will go live with the daily build on that date.
