Cape Town - The good, the bad and the ugly of using event driven architecture


Details
Event-driven architecture (EDA) promises flexibility, scalability, and real-time responsiveness—but it also comes with its own set of challenges and trade-offs. In this insightful and candid session, Nico Mouton takes us on a journey through the highs and lows of implementing EDA in real-world Mendix applications.
From the elegance of loosely coupled systems to the chaos of debugging asynchronous flows, Nico unpacks the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of event-driven design. He’ll explore how Mendix developers can harness EDA to build responsive, scalable apps—while avoiding common pitfalls like event storms, data inconsistency, and spaghetti logic.
