Event Driven Architectures: A Growing Trend in Cloud Computing

Event driven architectures have been around for decades but are now experiencing a surge in adoption, especially with the increasing complexity of distributed systems in cloud environments. One key benefit of event driven architectures is their ability to mitigate the complexities often encountered in distributed systems. By using events as triggers for system functionality, organizations can streamline communication and improve system scalability.
