This document discusses building scalable network applications using Netty, an asynchronous event-driven network application framework. It provides an overview of Netty concepts including ByteBuf, Channel, ChannelHandler, ChannelPipeline and Bootstrap. It describes how Netty provides a unified asynchronous programming model and modular architecture with reusable components to help build custom servers and networking applications that require high concurrency. Examples of using Netty concepts like ChannelInitializer and an SSE/CORS example handler are also included.
