Event-Driven Architecture & Message Streaming
Decouple microservices using distributed commit logs, message queues, and event streams.
💡 Why It Matters
Direct HTTP microservice chains create cascading failure risks.
🌐 Real-World Production Usages & Examples
E-Commerce Checkout
Scenario: Order Placed event triggers inventory and notifications in parallel.
Outcome: HTTP endpoint returns immediately.
✓ When to Use
- •Asynchronous background processing.
- •High-throughput log analytics.
✕ When NOT to Use
- •Simple CRUD applications.
🔑 Core Architecture & Rules
- 1Pub/Sub broadcasts events to multiple subscribers.
- 2Kafka partitions guarantee sequential ordering per key.
⚖️ Architectural Trade-Off Analysis
Sync vs Async
PROIsolates failures.
CONEventual consistency requires idempotent handling.
⚠️ Failure Modes & Mitigations
Consumer Lag
Consumers process slower than producer publish rate.
Mitigation: Increase partitions or use DLQ.
