A Critical Look at Event-Driven Systems: Bernd Rücker at QCon London
There is currently a hype in adoption of event-driven systems. Sometimes they are almost seen as the “magic thing” in our strive for decoupled systems, Bernd Rücker noted at the recent QCon London 2019. In his presentation he took a critical look at three common hypotheses around event-driven systems: events decrease coupling, Orchestration needs to be avoided, and Workflow engines are painful.

Events Should Be a First-Class Tool for Developers
We should use events much more often in software systems, Randy Shoup declared in a recent blog post about how events should be first-class citizens in systems. He believes we often underestimate the value of events as a tool. One example is that they can help us decouple parts of a system so that we can reason about them independently.

Event Sourcing in an Unreliable World
Examples of event sourced systems are often from process-oriented domains, like e-commerce, with incoming commands that generate events. But there are domains without processes that are intrinsically unreliable where we are collecting events from external event sources with transports that are unreliable, Lorenzo Nicora explained at the recent Microservices Conference µCon London 2017.
