Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software design approach in which decoupled components communicate by producing, detecting, consuming, and reacting to events, rather than relying on direct synchronous calls between services. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics Event-driven architecture organizes systems around the production, transmission, and consumption of discrete events that represent state changes or business occurrences. Producers publish events to
