So You Want to Build An Event Driven System?
Making your system 'event driven' is a common consideration when building modern systems. Especially if these applications leverage serverless technologies.
But what does that actually mean in the real world? What are the benefits of adopting this architecture style, what are the challenges and some of the tradeoffs?
In this session, you'll learn all about that and more with tips taken from building event driven systems in the real world. Starting from why, understanding what and plenty of practical things you can take away and use in your own applications. From the simple, through to some advanced integration patterns that this architecture style unlocks. to improve the resilience, extensibility and scalability of your systems.
