Complexity in Event-Driven Architecture: Managing Growth and Evolution

Explore a comprehensive conference talk from GOTO EDA Day 2024 that tackles the intricate relationship between complexity and event-driven architecture (EDA). Learn how organizations can leverage EDA beyond traditional producer-consumer patterns to create dynamic, evolving architectures while maintaining control over growing complexity. Discover practical strategies for implementing guardrails and governance, including event storming techniques and evolution strategies that help manage the challenges of event-driven systems. Through detailed examples and actionable insights, understand how to navigate common pitfalls in EDA implementation, particularly focusing on event consumer complexity and other potential gotchas. Master the balance between architectural evolution and complexity management to build resilient, scalable systems that can adapt to rapidly changing business environments. Gain valuable knowledge from AWS Senior Developer Advocate David Boyne as he shares expertise on controlling complexity while maximizing the benefits of event-driven architectures.
