Event-driven communication
Event-driven communication is a messaging paradigm that’s used in distributed systems, including microservices architectures, to enable asynchronous and loosely coupled communication between components. In this approach, components (services or applications) communicate by exchanging events, which are messages representing significant occurrences or state changes within the system. Event-driven communication promotes decoupling, scalability, and responsiveness in distributed systems.
Here are the key concepts and characteristics of event-driven communication:
- Events: Events are messages that carry information about specific occurrences or state changes within the system. Examples of events include “User Registered,” “Order Placed,” and “Payment Processed.” Events are typically structured in a standardized format and contain relevant data about the event, such as event type, timestamp, and payload...
