Understanding Event Driven Architecture

In software engineering, an event is a change in state, or an update, like an item being placed in a shopping cart on an e-commerce website. An event-driven architecture uses events to trigger and communicate between decoupled services and is common in both micro-service and monolithic applications.

Some of us are familiar with these kinds of systems having designed, built or worked directly with them others perhaps haven't heard of the concept and are yet to experience it in the wild.

This meetup is focused specifically around event-driven architecture and we've compiled 2 great speakers from the industry with real insights to share.

Speaker : David Boyne : Developer Advocate at Amazon
Title: Exploring event-driven fundamentals using AI story generation

Synopsis: Event-driven architectures (EDA) are becoming increasingly popular for building scalable and resilient distributed systems. However, understanding the fundamentals of EDA can be a challenge due to their complex and asynchronous nature. In this talk, we will explore the fundamentals of EDA, patterns that can help and help you gain a better understanding of the key concepts behind EDA.

Speaker: Barrington Haynes: Head of Engineering at Hive Learning
Title: Event-Driven Advantage: Why You Should Care

Synopsis: Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is a common pattern used alongside micro-services but really the benefits go far deeper. EDA can be used alongside many patterns to help enforce good engineering practices and drive business value allowing teams to adopt multiple patterns and move seamlessly between worlds. In this talk we will explore examples of how EDA can help your teams solve tough challenges evolving your architecture.
