Event-driven architecture (EDA) offers a powerful solution that extends beyond the traditional roles of producers, consumers, and brokers. It facilitates the creation of dynamic architectures that evolve, empower teams, and enhance agility, enabling businesses to thrive in rapidly changing environments.

In this talk, we’ll explore how complexity can obscure the potential of event-driven architecture (EDA). By examining EDA through the lens of Domain-Driven Design, we'll discuss how it contributes to the growth of evolutionary architectures and the critical guardrails and governance strategies needed to manage complexity effectively.

Whether you’re refining your current architecture or embarking on a new journey, this session will provide actionable insights into controlling complexity and maximizing the potential of event-driven architectures within a domain-driven context.
