Keywords:
Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), Real-time Data Processing, Machine Learning Pipelines, Serverless Computing, Event SourcingAbstract
This comprehensive article explores the evolution and implementation of Event-Driven Architectures (EDAs) in modern AI and data workflows. The article examines how EDAs have emerged as a crucial paradigm for building scalable, resilient systems capable of handling the exponential growth in global data processing demands. Through analysis of real-world implementations across various industries, particularly in financial services and healthcare, the study demonstrates how EDAs enable organizations to achieve significant improvements in processing efficiency, system integration, and real-time decision-making capabilities. The article covers fundamental architectural components, advanced design patterns specifically tailored for AI workflows, and practical considerations for implementation, including detailed examination of event sourcing, CQRS patterns, and choreography versus orchestration approaches in ML pipelines. The paper also explores emerging trends in serverless computing, AI-native event processing, and event mesh architectures, providing insights into future directions for enterprise-scale event-driven systems.
