Discover how to ease interoperability and integration issues with case-study driven guide to SOA and EDA.
- Combines both the theory of Event Driven Architecture (EDA) with a practical look at getting an EDA up and running in the real world.
- Provides case studies that illustrate ways to identify the ideal use of an EDA, or a partial EDA.
- Instills good sense of when to use an EDA approach and when not to.
An Event-Driven Architecture is one that has the ability to detect events and react to them. As Manas Deb put in VisualStudio Magazine, an EDA is an 'application or system architecture that reacts intelligently to changes or nonchanges in conditions.' A simple example of an event-driven system is the thermostat which turns the heat on or off based on its programmed reaction to an event (the change in temperature). EDA is not a new idea, but has been very difficult to build and implement. It is now receiving renewed and intense interest as a result of the advent of open standards and the breakthroughs in system interoperability from SOAs. This book establishes the SOA-Event Driven Architecture (EDA) connection and lays out the specific ways in which SOA powers the EDA. While simple in context, the realities of bending SOAP Web Services into a functioning EDA are challenging and complex. The authors, all experts in this field, explain the theories and then puts the reader on track for finding the right use of EDA in their organization and then getting it started.
