Go Time – Episode #297

Event-driven systems & architecture

with Chris Richardson, Indu Alagarsamy & Viktor Stanchev

All Episodes

Event-driven systems may not be the go-to solution for everyone because of the challenges they can add. While the system reacting to events published in other parts of the system seem elegant, some of the complexities they bring can be challenging. However, they do offer durability, autonomy & flexibility.

In this episode, we’ll define event-driven architecture, discuss the problems it solves, challenges it poses & potential solutions.
