Event Driven Architecture
Event-driven architecture (EDA), is a software architecture pattern promoting the production, detection, consumption of, and reaction to events.
An event can be defined as "a significant change in state". For example, when a consumer purchases a car, the car's state changes from "for sale" to "sold". A car dealer's system architecture may treat this state change as an event whose occurrence can be made known to other applications within the architecture. From a formal perspective, what is produced, published, propagated, detected or consumed is a (typically asynchronous) message called the event notification, and not the event itself, which is the state change that triggered the message emission. Events do not travel, they just occur. However, the term event is often used metonymically to denote the notification message itself, which may lead to some confusion. This is due to Event-Driven architectures often being designed atop message-driven architectures, where such communication pattern requires one of the inputs to be text-only, the message, to differentiate how each communication should be handled.

How would you describe the persona and level of the target audience?
My talk is for programmers and architects (from beginners to experienced) that are interested in and intrigued by event-driven systems and event-driven architecture.
What do you want “that” persona to walk away from your talk knowing that they might not have known 50 minutes before?
I will try to give them a theoretical understanding what being event-driven is all about, with enough practical tips to get started applying it to their use-cases, design process, and system architecture.
