Course Wrap-up

Grokking Microservices Design Patterns

In our journey through the intricate world of the Event-Driven Architecture pattern, we've covered considerable ground. From understanding the foundational problem that it seeks to solve, to diving deep into its inner workings and dissecting a Java example, we've seen the EDA pattern in all its glory. But now, let's take a step back and reflect. Is EDA the solution to all our distributed system challenges? Does it come with a guarantee of scalability, performance, and ease of implementation?

As with most architectural decisions, the answer is - it depends
