What is event-driven microservices?

Event-driven microservices are a software architecture approach that combines the principles of microservices with event-driven programming. In this model, applications are structured as a collection of loosely coupled, independent services (microservices) that communicate with each other through asynchronous events. Each microservice focuses on a specific business capability and publishes events when its state changes. Other microservices subscribe to these events and react accordingly. This architecture promotes scalability, resilience, and flexibility, as services can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. Common uses include building highly responsive and scalable applications, integrating diverse systems, and implementing complex workflows.
