Udi Dahan

Event-driven architecture experts Udi Dahan and Laila Bougria discuss the challenges of coordinating work in event-driven architectures. They explore the differences between orchestration and choreography, the types of events and their contexts, evolving contracts in a message system, observability tools, and the role of SLAs. They emphasize evaluating the entire workflow and the necessity of each step in complex workflows.

Experienced software architects Vaughn Vernon and Udi Dahan discuss the importance of using the right architectural styles and patterns, including service-oriented architecture, event-driven architecture, and sagas. They emphasize the need for communication among developers, avoiding over-application of event-driven architecture, and using sagas for complex business processes.

In this engaging discussion, Udi Dahan, a pioneer in service-oriented architecture and co-originator of the CQRS pattern, dives into the nuances of Command Query Responsibility Segregation. He explains how separating read and write models can simplify complex domains, and outlines the benefits of event sourcing for preserving object state. Udi also touches on vital infrastructure choices and emphasizes the importance of collaborating with domain experts to select the right architectural patterns for specific needs.
