With the rise of microservices and serverless clouds, the world is moving toward event-driven architectures composed of diverse, distributed systems and services. In this world, we have to manage business transactions and end-to-end processes that cross the boundary of individual services. Although event-driven choreography is fundamental to achieving nicely decoupled systems, complex event chains can cause headaches.
Bernd Rücker explains why transforming certain events into commands is beneficial and how to avoid losing sight of larger-scale flows. Bernd also demonstrates how to leverage existing technology to handle complex flows that require state handling, proper reactions on errors, timeouts, and compensating actions.
Bernd Rücker is a cofounder and developer advocate at Camunda, an open source software company reinventing workflow automation, where he focuses on new workflow automation paradigms that fit into modern architectures around distributed systems, microservices, domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, and reactive systems. Previously, Bernd helped automate highly scalable core workflows at global companies including T-Mobile, Lufthansa, and Zalando and contributed to various open source workflow engines. He coauthored Real-Life BPMN, a popular book about workflow modeling and automation, writes for various magazines, and regularly speaks at conferences.
