The Context

Event Driven Architecture

Pratice & Experience E3A

Agenda

Introducing EDA…

The experience teaches us that real systems live in asynchronous ever evolving environments where unpredictable events arise

leading to business opportunities.

We have to clean the ground!

Walking on thin ice

BPMBPMBPMBPMBPMBPM

Nothing really new in technologies but a new way of thinking

the existing ones!

The Event-Driven Architecture

is an event oriented approach using existing technologies and architectures (SOA, BPM, ESB, …)

is an architecture pattern promoting the production, detection, consumption of and reaction to events

Event Notification (Pushing)

• One-way: data describes an interesting

occurrence

• Messages describe events publish / subscribe

• Events indicate that something occurred in the

past

• Each message consumed zero or more times

• The events could be unpredictable

• Event Message Bus

EDAEDA Service Invocation (Pulling)

• One-way or two-way request / reply

• Messages are request / reply

• Request is a request to do something

• Reply is an indication that the request was

processed

• Each request consumed exactly once

• Service Message Bus
