Episode notes
Event-Driven Architecture Benefits
- Event-driven architecture enables loosely coupled distributed components reacting to events independently.
- This design allows scalable, resilient, and real-time responsive systems by decoupling event producers and consumers.
Designing for Multi-Cloud Portability
- Design multi-cloud systems for portability using containers and microservices.
- Build cloud-agnostic APIs to avoid vendor lock-in and carefully handle data synchronization across clouds.
Multi-Cloud Reduces Regulatory Risk
- Multi-cloud reduces concentration risk and expands service options across regions for strict regulatory compliance.
- It helps financial organizations meet data residency and sovereign cloud requirements more flexibly.
