Episode Summary

Event-driven architectures (EDA) is an intimidating subject for many, but don’t confuse complexity with unfamiliarity. While EDA might seem like complexity for the sake of complexity, it’s a necessary architectural pattern as the world goes more and more distributed. Join James Eastham and Allen Helton as they discuss all things EDA, ranging from what to put in your events to how EDA compares to request/response architectures to observability. Whether you’re looking to get into events for the first time or have been practicing for years, the episode is for you.
