Software Architecture Fundamentals 2nd Edition, Chapter 15: Event-driven Architecture

July 23, 2026 · 57 min

Show notes

We continue our survey of architectural styles with a widely misunderstood one, Event-driven Architecture. The first thing we attack on this episode is how this style and microservices are alike and, more importantly, differ. We talk about common usages of this style, variations based on events versus messages, data strategies, and a host of other details, some not found in the book (including some extended metaphors). Join us as we cover one of the most powerful distributed architecture styles.
