Conference Organizer.
Provides a broad understanding of the fundamental concepts behind data systems, including the trade-offs in designing systems that handle large amounts of data. It covers topics like data models, storage, distributed systems, and the challenges of consistency and reliability, which are highly relevant to understanding the context in which event-driven systems operate. It is an excellent resource for gaining foundational knowledge before diving deeper into specific event patterns.
Offers a practical approach to building event-driven microservices using Event Sourcing and CQRS. It provides hands-on guidance and is suitable for developers looking to implement these specific patterns in their projects.
This guide, freely available from Microsoft, details the experiences of a team implementing CQRS and Event Sourcing. It offers practical insights and covers challenges and techniques encountered when applying these patterns. It's a valuable resource for understanding real-world application of event-based patterns.
Serves as a practical guide to Domain-Driven Design, explaining how to model business domains and align software architecture with business strategy. It covers domain events and their role in DDD, making it a valuable resource for understanding the business context of event-driven systems.
A classic in software architecture, this book provides a foundational understanding of architectural styles, quality attributes, and design decisions. It offers context for understanding where event-driven architecture fits within the broader field of software design.
Classic reference for anyone working with messaging systems, which are integral to many event-driven architectures. It provides a comprehensive catalog of patterns for integrating enterprise applications using messaging, offering solutions to common challenges. While older, the patterns remain highly relevant and provide essential background for understanding how eventing is implemented in practice.
Comprehensive guide to designing and building microservices. Given the strong relationship between microservices and event-driven architectures, this book is highly relevant for understanding the patterns and considerations when implementing eventing in a microservice environment.
Delves into Complex Event Processing (CEP), a technology for analyzing and acting upon streams of events. It provides a technical explanation of CEP concepts, patterns, and languages. This book is more specialized and suitable for those looking to understand how to derive insights and trigger actions from complex event flows.
Focuses on reactive programming using RxJava, a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences. It's a practical guide for developers looking to implement event-driven patterns at a more granular level within their applications.
Focuses on reactive programming within the Spring framework, covering Project Reactor and Spring WebFlux. Reactive programming paradigm often used in event-driven systems to handle asynchronous data streams. This book is suitable for Java developers working with Spring.
Teaches asynchronous programming specifically in the .NET environment. Understanding asynchronous patterns is crucial for building responsive applications that process events efficiently. It's a practical guide for .NET developers.
While focused on Rust, this book provides a thorough exploration of asynchronous programming concepts, which are closely related to handling events. It covers futures, green threads, and runtimes, offering insights applicable to asynchronous programming in various languages.
