Architect's dream or developer's nightmare?

ABSTRACT

Event-based systems offer many benefits. They enable loose coupled, composable solutions that can be highly scalable. They also resemble the real world---major parts of our daily lives are governed by events: the phone rings, a customer places an order, the fuel warning lamp in the car comes on. Unfortunately, the architectural benefits are often offset by the complexity of developing event-based solutions. This talk examines why building event-based solutions can be challenging and how we can make it more approachable.
