9 Fallacies of Event driven Architectures

Tue, 22 April

The event-driven paradigm has become one of the most popular architectural styles for microservices, promising to make enterprises more reactive and adaptable to changing business needs. However, while many organizations are leveraging this architecture in their digital journeys, there are common misconceptions and challenges that can hinder its success.

In this talk, I will draw from my experience building enterprise event-driven systems and shed light on the 9 fallacies that often emerge when adopting this architecture. These fallacies can create pitfalls for organizations if not properly understood and addressed. We will explore each of these misconceptions, discussing why they occur, their impact on system performance and maintainability, and how to avoid them when implementing event-driven systems.

Whether you're considering event-driven architectures or already using them, this session will provide insights and practical tips to help ensure a smoother adoption and long-term success.

Target Audience: This session is aimed at Software Architects and Back-end Developers who are designing or implementing event-driven microservices. Enterprise Architects and Tech Leads who are responsible for system architecture in large-scale projects will also find valuable insights on overcoming the common challenges and misconceptions of event-driven architectures.
