How do event-driven architectures work?

(1) event-driven

Explanation

An event-driven architecture uses events to initiate actions and communication between decoupled services. An event is a change in state, a user request, or an update, like an item being placed in a shopping cart in an e-commerce website. When an event occurs, the information is published for other services to consume it. In event-driven architectures, events are the primary mechanism for sharing information across services. These events are observable, such as a new message in a log file, rather than directed, such as a command to specifically do something.
