Pivoting in the Noise: Event-Driven Architecture for Customer-Responsive Systems
Hey! Hey! Hey!
The world around us exists as a collection of events - things that happen and data points that we take in and process and decide what to do about (or not do about), all the time, every day. So…why shouldn't the systems we interact with be structured in the same way?
In this session, Laine and Josh will explain event-driven architecture, and why it's different from traditional monolith and also microservice architecture. They'll explain the pros and cons, and go over some of the technology that's currently out there to implement systems in this more customer-centric way.
About Laine Minor
Laine has been a developer, a technical lead, a stay at home mom, and an IT architect – and that last was a broad enough title that it let her do both technical things AND cultural things.
She realized then that that was her most favorite place to be, in that in-between place of technology and culture.
She also learned that enabling people and organizations is HARD work, and that explaining that in-between place can help.
