What is Event Driven Architecture and why is it so popular these days? Event Driven Architecture is the most loosely coupled, most scalable approach to building large, complex and high performance systems, it may be implemented via collections of microservices or not, and represents a fundamentally different, and often better, way to organise the behaviour of our systems. But it can seem strange and different at first, until you realise that most people who have ever written any UI code are already experienced at it.
In this episode Dave Farley, author of best selling books "Continuous Delivery" and "Modern Software Engineering" and also a long term innovator in the use of Event Driven Systems, describes how Event Driven Architecture is an evolution from Event Driven Programming. What the benefits of this style of design and programming are and offers tips on how to best design them.
