I'm currently working on preparation for the tech talk about #eventdriven architecture and would like to share some articles that I found helpful

Introduction to Event-Driven Architecture by Kacey Bui link.medium.com/A3vSLOI5Amb contains basic information about EDA, its main parts and what is more important list of benefits and drawbacks of #eventdriven approach. I would also like to note the great illustrations in the article

Journey to Event Driven confluent.io/blog/journey-t… by @confluentinc - series of 4 articles with detailed overview of Event Driven Architecture and its history, related architectural patterns, events in connection with #serverless, questions of performance and scalability

Request-driven vs Event-driven Microservices by Supun Bhagya link.medium.com/Iu0of8xzTmb - as the name implies - this article compares Request-driven and #eventdriven approaches, considers their benefits and tradeoffs, and shows how a hybrid approach might look like

REST vs Messaging for #Microservices
solace.com/blog/experienc… by @solacedotcom - one more article comparing Request-driven and #eventdriven approaches, although it mainly focuses on the benefits of EDA over Request-Response pattern

Introduction to event-driven architecture aiven.io/blog/introduct… by @aiven_io - contains basic concepts of #eventdriven along with events uses cases like Event collaboration pattern, Using events to notify about state change etc shown with clear illustrations

Integrating Event-Driven and Request-Response #Microservices oreilly.com/library/view/b… by @OReillyMedia - chapter from one of O'Reillys books (so you need to have subscription to learning.oreilly.com or use their free trial to read it)

This chapter explains different ways of combining #eventdriven and Request-Response services and shows how your architecture can evolve later
I'm definitely considering reading the full book
