Microservices architectures (MSA) break down domain-level problems into independent modular capacities so they become easier to manage and deploy, which is great for many situations. When that system is organized around events \u2014 an event-driven microservices architecture (EDM) \u2014 you are streamlining microservices into event-defined clusters, which then function faster and with improved productivity than they did in a monolithic formation. This event-driven microservices architecture offers benefits that you won\u2019t find in other MSA patterns.<\/p>\n
There are challenges, too, however. Scaling an MSA, for example, is more complex than scaling a monolith because the microservice design has so many more moving parts. While you may want to simply duplicate your entire function in a new setting, you may also only need to scale elements of it. Both cases require a careful analysis of how the scaled elements will impact the existing system so you can design around their particular concerns.<\/p>\n
Why Event-Driven Integration Architecture (EDA)?<\/strong><\/p>\n Further, its high level of optimization and ease of use let users \u201ctune\u201d how they want their events emitted, collected and consumed, and its immediacy gives them control over what\u2019s happening in their system. A Cohesive Event-Driven Microservices (EDM) Architecture<\/strong><\/p>\n The unique organization of events and microservices generates a host of benefits that are unattainable with point-to-point processing, including the following:<\/p>\n Optimizing Enterprise Integration<\/strong><\/p>\n Ultimately, an EDM enhances enterprise integration, which has been the goal all along of evolving enterprise-level computing systems. Reducing system functionality to its integral events and eliminating the web-like maze of connections between a myriad of corporate applications, EDM also eliminates the resulting confusion. As a middleware solution, EDM can integrate the entire organizational infrastructure into a more functional system. The Importance Of An EDM<\/strong><\/p>\n The benefits of an EDA, when coupled with microservices, are many, including lower up-front costs, reducing time-to-market and a reduction of the need for invasive refactoring or disruptions of existing application development efforts. Designing one to match and optimize your enterprise will require significant preparation and analysis of how your organization presently functions, which may not be within the scope of possibility for some businesses. It\u2019s important to decide whether this added effort is worth the benefits that come with an EDM \u2014 before you jump into the thick of it.<\/p>\n POST WRITTEN BY\n
\nIts scalability is also an added boon, even with the challenges that it poses, because the scaling solution must be as unique as the EDA itself. For example, a retailer may want to scale its entire operation in another location, which would suggest duplicating the entire EDA. Conversely, a seasonal retailer may need only to scale their sales programming during peak seasons. A scaled EDA in both situations requires a careful analysis of load balances, system resources and intended outcomes to achieve its intended goal.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe emerging EDM brings forward the benefits of each style of legacy system, while leaving their challenges behind. It provides users all the services they\u2019ve come to expect from today\u2019s modern computing sector:<\/p>\n\n
