You need event-driven architecture
to meet those requirements
EDA
• Decoupled applications /microservices
• Asynchronous, event-driven interactions
• Intermediated by event-broker
Technical Benefits
• Real-time/event-driven data movement
• Decoupled applications
• Resilient and scalable
• Hybrid/multi-cloud architecture
• Democratized access to up-to-date data

11. • Any-to-any
interoperability
• Open APIs and
Protocols
• Eliminate platform and
protocol lock-in
• Enterprise protocols
(JMS, REST, AMQP, SMF)
• IoT protocols
(MQTT 3.1.1 and 5.0)
• Front end protocols
(REST, WebSocket)
