Event-Driven Architecture: A Promising Solution

As systems grow more complex, we need a way to handle many interactions without coupling every service to every other one. Enter Event-Driven Architecture, or EDA. But what is EDA, and how does it solve our problem? Let's find out.

EDA is a design pattern that revolves around the production, detection, consumption of, and reaction to events. An event is a change in state, or an update, that is produced by a component, often referred to as the event producer. This event is then detected and consumed by one or more components, known as event consumers.
