The Modern Application: Powered By Events
Traditional data processing simply takes too long!
• Data is collected from a variety of sources,
and placed in a persistent store.
– Relational database.
– NoSQL store.
– Big Data environment.
• Analytical processes are executed against
the stored data to detect opportunities or
threats.
• Actions are identified, delivered, and
executed across various business channels.Store

Act

The Modern Application: Powered By Events
Traditional data processing simply takes too long!
• Introduces too much “decision latency” into
the business.
• Responses are delivered “after-the-fact”.
• Maximum value of the identified situation is
lost.
– Cross-sell / up-sell opportunities are lost,
impending equipment failure is missed, business
processes are slow to respond and lack timely
context.
• Decisions are made on old and stale data.Store

ü In essence, events represent the way the world works.
• Not only ordered streams, but true “event clouds”.
ü Events represent a “change of state” in key business
data elements.
• IoT sensor reading, customer interaction, purchase transaction, patient
admission, passenger check-in, …
ü Events may be found in any vertical or business.
• Government, healthcare, transportation & logistics, retail, finance,
manufacturing, telecommunications, …
What Is An “Event”?
Events provide value to the business.

What Is An “Event”?
Events provide value to the business.
ü Events can come from any place, at any time, in any order.
• Sometimes they don’t come at all, which is also important!
ü Organizations must be able to handle events as a core
component of their architecture.
• Treat events with the same importance as data.
• Microservices do NOT automatically mean “request-reply over HTTP”.
ü Events are a mandatory component of today’s enterprise
architecture.
• Facilitate scaling & simplify fault tolerance.
• Increase location independence & allow one to move towards loose
coupling.
• Reduce decision latency, handle events when they have the most value.
• Eliminate expensive “polling for answers” which may never come.

Issues:
• Client driven.
• Typically synchronous.
• No support for streaming data or server-side pushes.
• Communications are point-to-point.
• Scaling to large numbers of endpoints (e.g. IoT).
• Fixed message exchange pattern.
• Potential for tightly coupled dependency chains.
• Often utilizes shared state concurrency.
• No separation of commands and queries.

Characteristics:
• Client or server driven.
• Synchronous or asynchronous, non-blocking, location-independent.
• Support for streaming data and server-side pushes.
• Communications are point-to-point, many-to-one, one-to-many.
• Scales to large numbers of endpoints (e.g. IoT).
• Flexible message exchange patterns.
• Loosely coupled dependency chains.
• Separation of commands, events, state, and queries.
• “Guess, apologize, compensate”

The Modern Application: Event Contracts
It all starts with the event contract.
https://github.com/project-flogo/asyncapi
https://www.asyncapi.com/
• AsyncAPI is to events as OpenAPI
(Swagger) is to REST, or Schemas are to
GraphQL.
• Utilize AsyncAPI to build protocol-
agnostic event contracts to:
• facilitate code/documentation
generation
• support the creation of standardized
event interfaces
• improve event governance
• TIBCO is a Platinum Sponsor of the
AsyncAPI initiative.

The Modern Application: Event Patterns
Some patterns to consider when building the modern application using events.
• Event Sourcing
• Persist the events that lead up to a particular state, not the state itself.
• Easy to recreate a state at any point in time.
• Other services (e.g. Big Data, streaming) can subscribe to event store changes.
• CQRS
• Command Query Responsibility Segregation
• Services that handle updates are different from those that handle queries.
• Utilize a “view store” to handle queries.
• Events & Sagas
• Use sagas to coordinate how a transaction is processed across many microservices.
• Control sequence, compensate for errors, & trigger via events in a loosely coupled manner.
• Can be centralized (“orchestrated”) or purely event driven (“choreographed”).
• Commands (an action that starts processing, triggers an event) vs Events.

Using the guidelines of a Reactive Application.
Responsive Resilient
Message Driven Elastic
Reactive
Applications
* http://www.reactivemanifesto.org/
• Coherent approach to systems architecture.
• Reactive systems are flexible, loosely
coupled, and scalable.
• Use asynchronous message passing to
establish a boundary between components.
• To ensure responsiveness, the system must be
elastic.
• Failures must be met with elegance.

Data Stream
Contextual, Reactive State (Rules & AI/ML)
• Event processing is not just about
applying mathematical
operations on time-ordered,
unbounded data.
• Business runs on rules and
algorithms applied to context.
• Logic is not always sequential, and
may not be ordered.
• Often more important to
detect when things “do not”
happen.
• Manage “reactive state” in
addition to events.

The Modern Application: Project Flogo™
Open source, developer friendly framework for building the next generation of digital apps.

• Start with AsyncAPI and use
CLI to generate the Flogo
application.
• Run as a microservice, fully
containerizable.
• Lightweight, Golang footprint
(much lighter than Java).
• Leverages the complete open
source Flogo ecosystem,
including hundreds of triggers
and the ability to combine Flogo
Streams with Flows and Rules.
• Process and read/write data
from/to a Kafka cluster.

The Modern Application: Flogo™ + Kafka
Open source, developer friendly framework for building the next generation of modern apps.

• Same support as with Apache
Kafka.
• But…also run Flogo streaming
applications as native Pulsar
functions, within the Pulsar
environment itself.
• Reduces system complexity,
improves performance and
reduces latency, and utilizes
Apache BookKeeper for stateful
support.
• Same lightweight framework,
and leverages the entire Flogo
ecosystem.

Putting It All Together: An Example

Many architectures are
designed to support request-
response, but also require
loose coupling
No easy way to manage
interaction between
events and microservices
No standard
specifications for event-
driven, inter-service
communication
Roadblocks to Adopting Events

Microgateways apply
protection and mediation,
via APIs, between events
and microservices
APIs create
interoperability between
loosely coupled services
An event-driven API
specification has become
the defacto standard
Most architectures are designed
to support request-response,
but also require loose coupling
No easy way to manage
interaction between
events and microservices
No standard specifications
for event-driven, inter-
service communication
Event-Driven APIs Solve Our
Biggest Challenges
