On DDD Europe I'm going to speak about Patterns👍 and Antipatterns👎 for Event-Driven Architecture. Come and see if you recognize patterns from your code base 👀. The conference starts in about four weeks, please spread the word! And if you don't have a ticket yet, use this link for a discount 💶: https://ti.to/on3/aardling26/discount/SpeakerInvite

In my talks, I usually make it a point to argue for event-driven choreography. At least at the higher levels of your system, between different bounded contexts and teams.
I came across this article that puts it very nicely: choreography promotes modularity.
Read the latest addition to the "Awesome Event-Driven Architecture" list: Michelin's journey from BPM orchestration to event-driven choreography.

#EventDrivenArchitecture promises scalability, traceability, and resilience—but in a regulated, cloud-native banking environment it also introduces real challenges.
In this #InfoQ video, Chris Tacey-Green explains the key #patterns used to build a real-time payment system in Azure, including inbox patterns, event sourcing, idempotency, and observability.

A couple of weeks ago, I was interviewed for WeAreDevelopers.
According to the AI summary on the page, one thing I said was: "Many teams struggle with EDA not because of tooling [..], but due to a failure to grasp its fundamental principles and the need to unlearn old habits."
Sounds like me.

Speed. Immediacy. Traceability.
That’s where #EventDrivenArchitecture shines in banking: decoupled systems, scalable services & clear activity trails.
But … EDA also introduces new complexity, failure modes & operational challenges.
In this #InfoQ article, Chris Tacey-Green breaks down where EDA actually adds value in banking systems - and the practical patterns needed to make it reliable.

Event-Driven Architecture Truths #SystemDesign #EDA (And When NOT to Use It)
Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is often promoted as the ultimate solution for scalability, decoupling, and modern system design. But what most engineers don’t realize is that EDA introduces a new class of complexity—hidden in asynchronous flows, eventual consistency, and operational overhead. In this deep technical breakdown, we go beyond the hype and uncover the real trade-offs of event-driven systems. You’ll learn why debugging becomes exponentially harder, how schema evolution can silently break systems, and why most teams underestimate the cognitive and operational load of distributed architectures. We explore real-world challenges like duplicate events, out-of-order processing, and failure handling using retries, dead-letter queues, and idempotency strategies. More importantly, we explain when NOT to use event-driven architecture—something rarely discussed but critical for making the right architectural decisions. This guide also introduces a practical hybrid approach that balances synchronous reliability with asynchronous scalability, along with advanced patterns like orchestration vs choreography. If you’re a software engineer, architect, or engineering leader working with microservices, Kafka, or distributed systems, this is a must-read. Stop blindly adopting trends. Start designing systems your team can actually understand, debug, and evolve. #EventDrivenArchitecture #SystemDesign #Microservices #DistributedSystems #SoftwareArchitecture #Kafka #Scalability #BackendEngineering #TechLeadership #CloudArchitecture -
Event-driven architecture has become a core building block for modern systems, but getting the patterns right is still a real challenge.
In the next months, I'll be talking about EDA at 3 European conferences:
📍 JAX Mainz (May) - "Microservices Need Microworkflows"
📍 DDD Europe, Antwerp (June) - Patterns and Antipatterns for EDA
📍 WeAreDevelopers, Berlin (July) - Full-day masterclass on event-driven microservices -
Meet Tansu!

Nice of Forbes to pitch Event-Driven Architecture to "business leaders". Welcome to the party!
"The shift [..] to event-driven execution is a leadership decision about how an organization operates under scale, complexity and regulatory pressure."Hard to disagree with that. If you're a business leader pondering that decision, I'm happy to help.

I’ve been speaking at conferences for ~12 years, and it still doesn’t feel routine. I rarely repeat talks, and sometimes something genuinely new comes along: a new conference, or a format that allows real depth.
Two of those are coming up.

More self-promotion, but with good intentions: The early-bird price ends soon!
In March 2026 I’m doing my half-day “intro dive” workshop on event-driven architecture again, including a small Java/Kafka/Spring hands-on. If you’re curious about EDA or want to sharpen your toolbox, join us!
On-site in Munich, in German 🇩🇪.➡️ https://software-architecture-summit.de/muenchen/

#CaseStudy - Karrot replaced its legacy recommendation system with a new scalable architecture powered by multiple AWS services.
The shift addresses issues of tight coupling, limited scalability, and poor reliability in the previous setup - moving to a distributed, event-driven design built on scalable cloud infrastructure.
