Event-Driven gRPC Architectures

Modern microservices often need to react to changes and communicate asynchronously. Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is a powerful pattern for this.

When combined with gRPC, you get both high-performance synchronous communication AND reactive, scalable asynchronous flows. Let's explore how!

An event is a record of something that happened, like "Order Placed" or "User Registered." Events are immutable facts.

An event stream is an ordered sequence of events. Services can publish events to a stream and subscribe to events from a stream.

• Producers: Services that publish events.
• Consumers: Services that subscribe to and process events.
