We discuss the main concepts behind event-driven programming, which, after object-oriented programming, is another fundamental stepping stone in understanding modern embedded software.

With pressure to deliver fast, scalable solutions, developers are turning to event-driven microservices as a promising alternative.

Amazon Web Services announced that cloud developers can now use Java for writing Lambda functions, which provide event-driven functionality while taking care of needed compute resources.

The Role Of Event-Streaming Platforms Distributed event-streaming platforms like Apache Kafka have emerged as a critical enabler for building event-driven systems at scale.

Obviously, event-driven computing services like AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Microsoft Azure Functions are not suitable for mission-critical, always-on tasks.

An event-driven architecture (EDA) defines a methodology for designing and implementing applications and systems in which events transmit between loosely coupled software components and services.
