Introduction to Event-Driven Architecture: Benefits and Use Cases
Understanding the Event-Driven Architecture
Traditional systems rely on request-response communication, where one service directly asks another for data. This can create delays and tight connections between components.
Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) takes a different approach. Instead of direct requests, systems send and react to events. This makes applications faster, more flexible, and easier to scale. In this article, we’ll explore EDA, its benefits, and where it’s used in real-world applications
What is Event-driven architecture?
Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software design pattern in which system components communicate through events. An event represents a change in state, such as a user placing an order, a payment being processed, or a sensor detecting a temperature change. Unlike traditional request-response architectures, EDA enables asynchronous communication, making systems more decoupled, scalable, and responsive.
