Event-Driven Architecture
Exact Definition
Event-Driven Architecture is a software architecture pattern where database changes, transactions, and user events trigger background services asynchronously via message brokers.
Architectural Deep Dive
In an event-driven setup, applications do not wait for background tasks (e.g., sending notification emails, updating analytics logs) to finish. The system publishes an event (e.g., 'Order Placed') to a queue, and background workers process it, keeping user response times low.
The ERPStack Approach
We design event-driven backends using AWS SQS or Redis queues, ensuring that heavy operations do not slow down user interfaces.
