← Back to glossary Category: Tehnologie · Acronym: EDA Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) Quick answer: A model where systems react to events (new order, stock change) in real time, instead of polling periodically. Key takeawaysReal-time reaction (push, not poll)Decoupling between producers and consumersScalability and resilience What event-driven architecture is Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a model where components communicate via events: when something happens (order placed, stock low, delivery confirmed), an event is emitted and consumers react immediately. Why it matters to the board EDA brings real-time freshness where it counts: stock updates across channels in seconds, orders route instantly, marketplace cancellations drop. It's the opposite of overnight syncs. Characteristics Real-time reaction (push, not poll) Decoupling between producers and consumers Scalability and resilience How Azuvio helps Azuvio uses event-driven flows (webhooks, event queues) for time-sensitive data — stock, orders, statuses — and batch for high volumes, choosing the right model per data type. Frequently askedDoes event-driven mean everything in real time?No. It's ideal for time-sensitive data; for high volumes (catalogues, reports) batch stays more efficient. Mature systems combine both.How does it relate to webhooks?Webhooks are a concrete way to deliver events between systems over HTTP — a typical mechanism of event-driven architecture.
