Event Driven Architecture

Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a design principle in which the flow of a system’s operations is driven by the occurrence of events instead of direct communication between services or components. There are many reasons why EDA is a standard architecture for many moderate to large companies. It offers a history of events with the ability to rewind the ability to perform real-time data processing in a scalable and fault-tolerant way. It provides real-time extract-transform-load (ETL) capabilities to have near-instantaneous processing. EDA can be used with microservice architectures as the communication channel or any other architecture.

In this workshop, we will discuss the prevalent principles regarding EDA, and you will gain hands-on experience performing and running standard techniques.
