Reactive programming in backend

What are some of the use cases you would have for reactive programming in back-end. For front-end, it makes a lot of sense. I just can't see enough examples of how reactive programming is also good for back-end?

Anything you can think of?

The main benefit is that it enables serving a large number of requests with only a small number of underlying worker threads (which tend to be costly).
