What Is Event-Driven Architecture?

In modern software development, applications need to be scalable, flexible, and responsive to real-time data. Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is a powerful design pattern that helps applications react to changes efficiently.

In this article, we will explore what Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is, how to use it in Microservices, the benefits of using Event-Driven Architecture, and more.

What Is Event-Driven Architecture?

Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software design pattern in which decoupled applications can asynchronously publish and subscribe to events via an event broker/message broker.

In an Event-Driven Architecture, applications communicate with each other by sending and/or receiving events or messages.

Event-driven architecture is often referred to as “asynchronous” communication. This means that the sender and recipient don’t have to wait for each other to move on to their next task. Systems are not dependent on that one message.
