Event-Driven Architecture
Event-driven architecture is a design pattern where system components communicate through the production and consumption of events. It enables loose coupling and asynchronous processing.
Key Concepts
- Events and event producers
- Event consumers
- Event brokers
- Event sourcing
- CQRS with events
Common Use Cases
- Real-time processing
- Loose coupling
- Asynchronous workflows
- System integration
- Responsive applications
Best Practices
- Design idempotent consumers
- Implement dead letter handling
- Use event versioning
- Ensure eventual consistency
- Monitor event flow
