EDA and API gateways
EDA and API gateways can help us make the right choice when it comes to choosing the right architecture for our applications and also the right gateway for our API.
EDA
EDA is a paradigm where the flow of information is determined by events. In the context of microservices, EDA is a powerful approach for building loosely coupled and scalable systems.
The following concepts are involved in this architecture:
- Loose coupling: EDA decouples microservices by allowing them to communicate asynchronously through events. Services emit events when certain actions occur, and other services can react to these events without direct coupling.
- Publish-subscribe model: The publish-subscribe pattern is central to EDA. Services can publish events to a message broker, and other services can subscribe to specific event types. This pattern enables seamless communication without services being aware of each other.
- Event types: Events represent significant occurrences...
