Overview of this book

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is typically an aggregate of the business, application, data, and infrastructure architectures of any forward-looking enterprise. Due to constant changes and rising complexities in the business and technology landscapes, producing sophisticated architectures is on the rise. Architectural patterns are gaining a lot of attention these days. The book is divided in three modules. You'll learn about the patterns associated with object-oriented, component-based, client-server, and cloud architectures. The second module covers Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) patterns and how they are architected using various tools and patterns. You will come across patterns for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), Resource-Oriented Architecture (ROA), big data analytics architecture, and Microservices Architecture (MSA). The final module talks about advanced topics such as Docker containers, high performance, and reliable application architectures. The key takeaways include understanding what architectures are, why they're used, and how and where architecture, design, and integration patterns are being leveraged to build better and bigger systems.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the various aspects of EDA patterns. We started with the definition and description of the event and event-driven patterns. Then we discussed in detail the various components of EDA. EDA patterns have two topology variants and each of them has specific usage scenarios based on the system requirements. These patterns and their components were discussed in detail.

There are multiple variants of EDA patterns. These patterns and their features were discussed in detail in the chapter. EDA patterns have multiple layers in which they work. These layers and the components that are present in each layer were discussed in the chapter. SOA and EDA are related concepts and they complement each other. Their similarities, differences, and usage scenarios were discussed in detail in this chapter. The chapter concluded with a discussion about the emerging...
