Patterns and Antipatterns for Event-Driven Architecture

Event-driven architecture is a central component of modern, distributed systems - but applying it successfully in real-world systems comes with its share of challenges. Assuming a basic familiarity with EDA concepts, this talk dives into practical insights drawn from building and operating multiple event-driven systems across diverse domains. We'll explore recurring patterns that lead to resilient, maintainable architectures, as well as common antipatterns that can cause significant pain down the line. You'll leave with a concrete set of "Dos and Don'ts" for working with event-driven systems - practical techniques you can apply immediately, and a sharper eye for pitfalls to avoid as your system evolves.
