Parallel Pipelines vs Event Driven Architecture
Developers should learn and use parallel pipelines when dealing with large-scale data processing, real-time analytics, or complex workflows where sequential execution becomes a bottleneck meets 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. Here's our take.
Parallel Pipelines
Developers should learn and use parallel pipelines when dealing with large-scale data processing, real-time analytics, or complex workflows where sequential execution becomes a bottleneck
Parallel Pipelines
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use parallel pipelines when dealing with large-scale data processing, real-time analytics, or complex workflows where sequential execution becomes a bottleneck
Pros
- +Specific use cases include ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes in big data applications, continuous integration and deployment pipelines that run tests and builds concurrently, and streaming data systems that require low-latency processing
- +Related to: data-pipelines, ci-cd
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
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
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
The Verdict
Use Parallel Pipelines if: You want specific use cases include etl (extract, transform, load) processes in big data applications, continuous integration and deployment pipelines that run tests and builds concurrently, and streaming data systems that require low-latency processing and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Event Driven Architecture if: You prioritize it enables asynchronous communication, making systems more resilient to failures and easier to evolve, as components can be added or modified without direct dependencies over what Parallel Pipelines offers.
