Event-driven architecture (EDA) is crucial in various business and applications, including bus schedules, ride ordering, and social media platforms - to name a few.

In simple terms, EDA is made up of event producers, consumers, and a message broker to route messages. However, implementing EDA poses challenges around scalability, latency, and geographical distribution.

Cloud deployments address these issues by handling traffic spikes and reducing hardware costs. Additionally, cloud agnostic approaches enable standardized communication between services on different cloud providers.

This introductory talk provides an introductory overview of EDA, emphasizes the importance of cloud deployments, and explores the benefits of cloud agnosticism, aiming to spark curiosity in EDA and cloud technologies.
