Overview

Awesome Event-Driven Architecture is a curated directory of high‑quality learning resources focused on event-driven software architecture and event-based systems. It aggregates articles, videos, tools, patterns, and related materials that explain how services collaborate via publishing and subscribing to events, reducing runtime coupling between services.

Features

• Curated Awesome List

  • Follows the "Awesome" list conventions and guidelines.
  • Emphasizes clarity of principles, terminology, and core concepts in event-driven architecture.
  • Prioritizes quality over quantity: aims to list the best resources, not all possible ones.

• Focus on Event-Driven Architecture (EDA)

  • Centers on architectures where services communicate through events.
  • Highlights approaches that reduce runtime coupling via publish/subscribe mechanisms.
  • Covers event-based systems in general, not tied to a single vendor or technology.

• Organized Content Structure

  • Articles
    • Foundational: Core conceptual and introductory material.
    • Experience Reports and Practicalities: Real-world case studies, lessons learned, and practical implementation details.
  • Videos
    • Foundational: Talks and presentations that introduce or explain core EDA concepts.
    • Experience Reports and Practicalities: Video case studies and implementation-focused talks.
  • Related Topics
    • Section dedicated to adjacent or complementary subjects (e.g., likely reactive systems, messaging, integration patterns, etc., as linked from the main list).

• Contribution Guidelines

  • Public contribution process via issues and pull requests.
  • Uses a highly curated review process to maintain quality and consistency.
  • Aligns with the Awesome Lists guideline that lists should be curated collections of the best resources.

• Open Source & Licensing

  • Repository includes a LICENSE file (standard open-source license; details in the repo).
  • Publicly hosted mirror on GitHub of the primary Codeberg repository.

• Community & Updates

  • Maintainer shares updates and related content via Mastodon, Bluesky, and LinkedIn.
  • Related blog available for deeper dives into reactive and event-driven systems.

Ideal Use Cases

• Learning the fundamentals of event-driven architecture.
• Finding high-quality articles and videos for team education or internal workshops.
• Discovering practical experience reports before adopting or evolving an event-driven system.
• Building or refining an event-driven architecture and looking for patterns, tools, and terminology references.
