What is Event-Driven Architecture?

Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is a software design paradigm in which the flow of the program is determined by events — discrete occurrences such as user actions, sensor outputs, or messages from other services. Components communicate by producing and consuming events asynchronously, enabling high scalability, resilience, and decoupling.

EDA is a cornerstone of modern distributed systems, powering real-time analytics, microservices orchestration, IoT pipelines, and enterprise integration at scale.
