SOA vs. EDA: Is Not Life Simply a Series of Events?

Confluent

When should you use an event? Most contemporary software architectures are some mix of these two approaches. I will attempt to articulate in layman’s terms what an event-driven architecture (EDA) is and contrast it with service-oriented architecture (SOA). Is not life simply a series of events?

Integration with Event-driven Architectures and Asynchronous API

Apps Associates

When designing applications integration solutions, asynchronous communication offers a number of advantages over synchronous communication, especially when it comes to services in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA ). ). An Eventful API (asynchronous API) does not require a synchronous response to a request.

What Are Events? Process, Data, and Application Integrators

Dzone - DevOps

I first started developing SAP "Workflows" 25 years ago: five years prior to Gartner announcing that 'Event-Driven Architecture' ( EDA ) would be the "next big thing" to follow on from 'Service-Oriented Architecture' ( SOA ) – SOA likewise still in its infancy in 2003.

Event-driven architecture benefits

Apiumhub

Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a design pattern built around the production, detection, and reaction to events that take place in time. Event-driven architecture enables minimal coupling, which makes it a good option for modern, distributed application architectures.

Journey to Event Driven – Part 2: Programming Models for the Event-Driven Architecture

Confluent

Part 1 of this series discussed why you need to embrace event-first thinking, while this article builds a rationale for different styles of event-driven architectures and compares and contrasts scaling, persistence and runtime models. In this way, we don’t think about solution architecture in just one dimension.

Microservices and Kafka: A Perfect Match for Enabling Event-driven Architecture and Supercharging Integration

TIBCO - Connected Intelligence

In 2003, Gartner defined event-driven architecture (EDA) as the industry best practice for long-running processes. EDA made it possible to design asynchronous processes where an event is posted and the one who posts it is disconnected from the processing of the event — otherwise known as “fire and forget”.
