4 Key Types of Event-Driven Architecture

Adam Bellemare compares four main types of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA): Application Internal, Ephemeral Messaging, Queues, and Publish/Subscribe. Event-Driven Architectures have a long and storied history, and for good reason. They offer a powerful way to build scalable and decoupled architectures. But thanks to its long history, people often have different ideas of what EDA means depending on when they first encountered this architecture.
