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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Event-driven state machines are typically safer, but input-driven state machines also have their place. For example, in computer games or robotics applications, the event discovery strongly depends on ...
