Talk:
Becoming Event-Driven

Abstract:
The world is changing and with these changes comes a new class of problems to solve. Companies run businesses that span the globe and hop between clouds, breaking down silos to create seamless applications that synergise the organisation. There is a continuous state of change that organisations must manage and innovate with. Traditional architectures simply cannot meet the challenges of real time and extreme scale.

Today, we are addressing these new, rising needs through microservices, IoT, event hubs, cloud, machine learning and more. We call it Data in Motion – it is the common element of all these new world problems, All of these events (data) drive actions and reactions, and transform between different streams, splitting, merging and evolving like the pathways of your brain.

To understand the importance of being event-driven, we’ll examine why events have become so pivotal in the way we think today and how they have become a first-class concern for the modern organization, where awareness of events underpins event-first thinking and design. In this discussion we we will examine:

- Disruptions in tech that brought us to where we are today
- Data in Motion and Why it Matters
- Consideration of an Event-Driven Architecture and Event-First Thinking
