The document describes an upcoming event being organized by the Kochi MuleSoft Meetup Group on March 4th, 2021. The event will include two sessions - the first on the Evolution of Integration, and the second on Event Driven Architecture. Details are provided about the organizers and speakers for the event. The Event Driven Architecture session will cover topics such as the need for EDA, real-time APIs, tools available in MuleSoft for building EDA solutions, basic and advanced EDA implementations using MuleSoft and Solace event broker, and an EDA reference architecture.

• Batch File Processing – (Managed File transfer)
• Event Driven communications

16. Why Event Driven Architecture
16
• “By 2022, event notifications will form part of over 60% of new
digital business solutions” – Gartner
• “By 2022, 50% of organizations managing APIs will incorporate
mediation of event notifications into their operations.”- Gartner
• “The event-driven integration approach is not the simplest to adopt,
but it can provide a means to unite multiple disparate systems to
promote technical flexibility. An event-driven approach can be used
to solve complex flows that share data and state changes across
multiple endpoints in a real-time manner.” - Gartner
• The event-driven approach differs from a data-centric integration
approach because it allows for faster sharing of granular data to
trigger an action in a consuming application.” - Gartner
• Event Driven Architecture is the key enabler of Digital
Transformation, helps unlocking the data from legacy systems and
facilitates the data movement from any to any data centre with out
limitation of which deployment model the application is following –

● By default when we talk about real time API general perception is REST API.
● Just because traditional API delivers the data in real time does not make it real time API.
● Rest API is an interaction pattern or reque.st – response pattern.
● Challenges :-
○ Consumer always need to ask the provider for updates rather provider sending a notification in real time.
○ Consumer continues to ask the provider until the consumer receives the expected data / status.
○ Wastes the resources at provider side.
○ Provider need to build expensive solution and manage the load effectively to provide scalability.
○ Consumer side also becomes an expensive solution when there are cloud governor limits/rate limit policies.
The Main challenge

18. 19
A Different Approach
● REST API / Request response pattern is not the answer to every integration usecase implementation or
does not cover all scenarios.
● The value of information decreases over time.
● Events must be captured and reacted on real time to take informed & timely decisions (to increase
customer experience, to improve the quality of service or predictive maintainance etc)
● REST API request response pattern implies the consumer always initiates interaction with the API
provider. That’s how it works. So, asking to “know when it’s ready” is not possible with the REST API.
Guess what? This is exactly the value provided by event-driven APIs.
● Event Driven Architecture becomes a necessity as the amount of data increases and customers expect
better experience and data need to be processed in real time. Remember Time is always critical aspect.

What is Event Driven Architecture
● Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software architecture paradigm promoting the production,
detection, consumption of, and reaction to events.The value of information decreases over time –
Wikipedia
● Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software design pattern in which decoupled applications can
asynchronously publish and subscribe to events via an event broker (modern messaging-oriented-
middleware). - Solace
● Event-driven architecture is a way of building enterprise IT systems that lets information flow between
applications, microservices and connected devices in a real-time manner as events occur throughout
your business, instead of periodically polling for updates.- Solace
● That’s why event-driven architecture, which pushes information as events happen, is a better
architectural approach than waiting for systems to periodically poll for updates, as is the case with the
API-led approach most companies take today.

20. 21
What is Event Driven Architecture - Concepts
An event can be defined as "a significant change in state".
Events are the lifeblood of the modern enterprise. Events are produced, detected, consumed and reacted upon.

Event Driven API :- Event Driven is an architectural
style / design pattern that defines how a system should
respond / react to the events as they occur. Pubsub,
Streaming, Push APIs are a subset or fall under Event
Driven APIs umbrella.
Publish & Subscriber :- Event is produced only once by
Event producer, Events are published to Topics on Event
Broker. Event Broker applies subscription rules or topic
routing rules to route and deliver the event to the
subscribers.
Streaming API :- Streaming API is a consumer pattern,
defines how a consumer should receive and process
events. Example JMS listener
Push API :- Push API is producer pattern. When event is
produced, they are ready to be published to a receiver
over a connection. Example Webhooks, Notification
APIs.
