Event-driven architecture for scalability, flexibility and reliability

At Träkol

At Leighton’s on:tech event, experts from DWP, Atom Bank, and Growth Capital Ventures discussed how event-driven architecture (EDA) enables businesses to build scalable, flexible, and reliable systems. EDA focuses on the flow of events between system components, allowing businesses to react in real-time to data changes or user actions, improving overall system performance and customer experience.

The panel explored how EDA helps organisations overcome the limitations of traditional monolithic architectures, enabling better scalability and adaptability. They shared insights on when to transition from monoliths to event-driven systems, and how EDA can help manage growing complexity, distribute information effectively, and support dynamic business needs.

A key takeaway was the importance of aligning both technical and business teams when adopting EDA. Success depends on embracing event-driven thinking and securing buy-in across the organisation to ensure a seamless implementation that drives business value.
