GLOSSARY > EVENT-DRIVEN ARCHITECTURE

Event-Driven Architecture

A software architecture paradigm promoting the production, detection, and consumption of, and reaction to, state changes (events).

Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) decouples systems, enabling asynchronous, real-time data mobilization. Rather than brittle batch-processing jobs, AI systems in an EDA instantly ingest continuous streams of data from Kafka or EventBridge, allowing predictive models to react to factory floor anomalies or financial market shifts the millisecond they occur.
