Event-Driven Architecture for Modern Applications
Introduction
Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a design paradigm where services communicate through events rather than direct API calls. This approach enables loose coupling, horizontal scalability, and resilient system design.
Core Concepts
- •Event Producers — Services that emit domain events
- •Event Brokers — Middleware that routes and stores events
- •Event Consumers — Services that react to events asynchronously
- •Event Sourcing — Using events as the single source of truth
- •CQRS Pattern — Separating read and write operations
