Q&A

What are event-driven architectures?

Event-driven architectures are system designs that prioritize real-time user interactions, pluggable microservices, and extensible streaming and data analytics.

How do event-driven architectures ensure scalability and resilience?

Event-driven architectures are scalable because they can expand or contract based on workload. They are resilient because they avoid single points of failure.

What are the advantages of event-driven architectures?

Event-driven architectures result in responsive systems that are easy to maintain, fix, and update. They also allow for easy expansion of the system with new services.

What is stream processing in event-driven architectures?

Stream processing is a powerful feature of event-driven architectures that enables real-time calculations, implements business rules, and supports real-time analytics.

How do event-driven architectures handle communication between microservices?

Event-driven architectures use pub-sub communication, allowing microservices to easily plug into the system and consume or produce events without affecting other applications.
