Why should you consider event-driven architectures (EDA) over request-response architectures like REST or RPC?
Many start in the synchronous request-response (RR) world, using REST and RPC to build inter-service communications. But tight service-to-service coupling, scalability, fan-out sensitivity, and data access issues can remain.
Event-driven architectures provide a powerful way to decouple services in both time and space, letting you subscribe to the events that matter most for your line of business.
Event streams provide foundational building blocks for composing new applications, letting you power operational, analytical, and AI-based systems.
In our lightboard video, @abellemare compares EDAs and RRs, highlighting the major benefits and shortcomings of each approach.
