Event Driven Architecture vs Request-Response Architecture
Developers should learn EDA when building systems that require high scalability, loose coupling, or real-time processing, such as in microservices architectures, IoT platforms, or financial trading systems meets developers should learn this architecture when building web applications, apis, or any networked system requiring reliable data transfer, as it provides a standardized way to handle interactions between components. Here's our take.
Event Driven Architecture
Developers should learn EDA when building systems that require high scalability, loose coupling, or real-time processing, such as in microservices architectures, IoT platforms, or financial trading systems
Event Driven Architecture
Nice PickDevelopers should learn EDA when building systems that require high scalability, loose coupling, or real-time processing, such as in microservices architectures, IoT platforms, or financial trading systems
Pros
- +It enables asynchronous communication, making systems more resilient to failures and easier to evolve, as components can be added or modified without direct dependencies
- +Related to: microservices, message-queues
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Request-Response Architecture
Developers should learn this architecture when building web applications, APIs, or any networked system requiring reliable data transfer, as it provides a standardized way to handle interactions between components
Pros
- +It is essential for implementing RESTful APIs, handling user inputs in web forms, or managing database queries, where immediate feedback and error handling are critical
- +Related to: http-protocol, rest-api
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Event Driven Architecture if: You want it enables asynchronous communication, making systems more resilient to failures and easier to evolve, as components can be added or modified without direct dependencies and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Request-Response Architecture if: You prioritize it is essential for implementing restful apis, handling user inputs in web forms, or managing database queries, where immediate feedback and error handling are critical over what Event Driven Architecture offers.
