What Is Event-Driven Integration?

Event-driven architecture (EDA) is an integration model designed to publish, subscribe to, process, and respond to event messages across distributed systems in real time. Solace extends EDA concepts by breaking up conventional monolithic integrations into smaller, purpose-built components that can be loosely coupled to exchange information over the event mesh. Event-driven integration turns conventional integration architecture inside-out so that integration occurs at the edge of an event-driven core.

If you're new to EDA, this section will help you understand the basic concepts of how EDA works and how it can provide an event-driven core that keeps your data moving in real-time through connected systems.
