Event Driven Architecture Overview

An Overview of the Role Event Driven Architecture Plays in Corporate Responsiveness

Here’s a quick event driven architecture overview:

Event driven architecture (EDA) is a software architecture pattern that facilitates the production, monitoring, and reception of events—for example, some kind of message, count, pattern, value, or marker. When an application is designed with an event driven architecture, it provides the organization with an overview of the patterns and relationships found in streaming data events, and enables the organization to respond quickly.  As a critical component of corporate responsiveness, event driven architecture gives decision makers the ability to receive and work with business data in real time and to improve the rate of response to incoming data.  

Whether you want an event driven architecture overview or powerful solutions for deploying event driven applications to improve infrastructure responsiveness, Progress Software has the solutions to help.

Progress Software Offers an Event Driven Architecture Overview and Solutions

Progress Software offers application infrastructure solutions that simplify and optimize the development, deployment, integration, and management of enterprise applications.  Progress® Apama® is a complex event processing platform with an event driven architecture that can give business leaders an overview of business activity as well as granular detail about business conditions and developments.  By monitoring and analyzing data event streams in real time and detecting and analyzing important patterns, Apama provides the ability to respond in sub-millisecond time.  While other event driven architectures respond to events after they have occurred, Apama’s architecture lets you respond to fast-moving events of any kind, using richly featured visualizations to see an overview of key performance indicators, get an operational assessment of current business activity, or track changing business conditions in real time. Apama operational information systems provide you with the tools for business process engineering to increase operational responsiveness.

Service-oriented Architecture Complements Event Driven Platform

A service-oriented architecture (SOA) can be combined with event driven architecture technology to construct enterprise applications and systems in a way that allows more responsiveness and solves operational challenges.  Progress delivers solutions that enable event driven SOA – an interaction between events and services that offers the benefits of both models. Events are generated in the SOA’s enterprise service bus while Progress’ complex event processing solution monitors and analyzes events and triggers the appropriate business process.  By deploying an event driven SOA plan with Progress Software, you can give your organization the ability to take advantage of emerging opportunities or rapidly respond to negative situations.
