The Event-Driven Architecture Paradigm When To Use - Building async, loosely-coupled systems - Systems with complex event processing pipelines When NOT To Use - Simple request-response applications without async needs - Systems requiring strong transactional consistency When to Employ This Paradigm - For real-time or bursty workloads (e.g., IoT, financial trading, logistics) where loose coupling and asynchronous processing are beneficial. - When multiple, distinct subsystems must react to the same business or domain events. - When system extensibility is a high priority, allowing new componen…
