Event-Driven Architecture
Explore the principles of event-driven architecture, focusing on its decoupled, asynchronous design that enhances scalability and flexibility. Understand key components such as event sources, event buses, and event sinks, along with the advantages and challenges of implementing EDA in software systems.
We'll cover the following...
Overview
Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software design paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by externally produced events or messages. In an event-driven system, components communicate by sending and receiving events rather than calling each other’s functions or methods directly.
Characteristics
Here are some key characteristics of event-driven architecture:
-
Decoupling: Event-driven architecture promotes loose coupling between components because they don’t need to know about each other’s internal implementation details. This makes the system more ...
