With pressure to deliver fast, scalable solutions, developers are turning to event-driven microservices as a promising alternative.

We discuss the main concepts behind event-driven programming, which, after object-oriented programming, is another fundamental stepping stone in understanding modern embedded software.

An event-driven architecture (EDA) defines a methodology for designing and implementing applications and systems in which events transmit between loosely coupled software components and services.

All 12 of these concepts and principles are important in both software itself and the business of software.

What is object-oriented programming, and how does it work under the hood? How about event-driven programming? Such questions, in one form or another, constantly appear in various discussion forums.
