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.

Application publishes events pattern

The application inserts events into an EVENTS table as a part of the local transaction. A separate process polls the EVENTS table and publishes the events to a message broker. The key concerns being associated with this pattern is that appropriate changes have to be enacted on the application.

It is going to be an event-driven world. Events in formalized and standardized forms are going to be the real differentiators for the futuristic systems to be sensitive, responsive, and resilient in their actions and reactions. With the IoT era fast dawning, there will be trillions of events and the IT systems, plus the business applications, that have to be accordingly defined and designed. Herein, the role of microservices in setting up and sustaining such kinds of adaptive, people-centric, process-optimized, service-oriented, and event-driven applications...
