Overcoming Event-Driven Architecture Complexity with an Event Gateway
Overcoming the complexity of an event-driven architecture (EDA) can be achieved with the use of an event gateway. As EDA grows, it becomes more complex and requires solutions to manage filters, routing rules, message transformations, third-party application orchestration, webhook support, and reporting. An event gateway can help address these challenges by offering features such as filtering messages before dispatching, adding routing rules to reduce code complexity, transforming messages for faster integration, subscribing to third-party events for application orchestration, extending the reach of events by supporting webhooks, and encouraging event governance through reporting. By investing in an event gateway early on, developers can better manage EDA complexity as their applications grow.
