How Event Driven Architectures go wrong and how to fix them

Slides:


Event Driven Architectures can provide many benefits when building distributed cloud applications, particularly speed and agility. However that also means teams can ship their bad ideas faster than ever, and a lack of standards and governance can leave teams creating a bit of a mess.

Fortunately the same agility means the fixes can come just as fast. After seeing hundreds of teams implement EDA patterns, I’ll share the most common gotchas I come across. We’ll take a journey into pinball machines, YOLO events, god events, observability soup, event loops. exposing the monolith, state corruption, and how to avoid a surprise bill. We’ll also look at strategies and techniques teams can use to avoid the pitfalls.
