While businessesrecognize the need to transform their IT systems and operations, they oftenstruggle with where to begin.This white paper provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies andbenefits associated with application modernization through middlewaretransformation. It underscores the importance of updating legacy systems toenhance efficiency, scalability, and integration capabilities, ultimately enablingorganizations to become true digital businesses.The paper is divided into three parts. Part 1 focused on the role of middlewaretransformation in modern IT ecosystems, key challenges with legacymiddleware and the risks of inaction, best practices and real-world examplesof successful middleware modernization, and the benefits of middlewaretransformation.Part 2 (this document) will explore how Event-Driven Architecture (EDA)revolutionizes enterprise IT by enabling real-time data exchange, improvedscalability, and loosely coupled services.About This White Paper SeriesKey topics include:Understanding EDA and its core components—eventproducers, routers, and consumers.The advantages of EDA, including responsiveness, scalability,and service decoupling.Best practices for implementing EDA to maximize efficiencyand business impact.Real-world case studies from industry leaders like Netflix andUber, demonstrating how EDA drives digital transformation. 01 3© 2025 Hexaware Technologies Limited. All rights reserved Modern Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is a design paradigm thatemphasizes the production, detection, and consumption of events. Unliketraditional request-response architectures, EDA promotes loosely coupled,asynchronous communication between components, making systems moreresponsive and scalable. In an EDA, events are generated by producers (e.g.,user actions and system changes) and consumed by various services thatreact to these events.Event Producers:Entities that generate events, such as userinteractions or system updates.Event Brokers:Middleware that routes events from producers toconsumers, ensuring reliable delivery and scalability.Event Consumers:Services that process and respond to events.EDA is particularly beneficial for applications requiring real-time processing,such as IoT systems, financial services, and e-commerce platforms. Itenables systems to handle high volumes of events efficiently, providing arobust foundation for building reactive and resilient applications. As illustratedin the image, EDA typically involves producers generating events, a brokerfacilitating event distribution, and subscribers consuming and reactingto these events. This architecture allows for flexible and scalable eventprocessing, ensuring that different components can operate independentlywhile still responding to critical changes in real time.Key components of Event-Driven Architecture Overview of Modern Event-Driven Architecture (EDA)02 4© 2025 Hexaware Technologies Limited. All rights reserved Let’s understand these components in detail.Event Producers:These are the sources that generate events. An event canbe any significant change in state or occurrence within the system, suchas a user action, a sensor reading, or a system update. For example, in ane-commerce platform, placing an order is an event generated by the ordermanagement system.Event Routers (Event Bus or Message Broker):This component acts as anintermediary that routes events from producers to consumers. It ensuresthat events are delivered to the appropriate consumers based on predefinedrules. Examples of event routers include Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, and AWSEventBridge. The following image shows how an event broker capturesand distributes real-time events—like logins, email changes, and orders—tosubscribed services. Event Consumers:These are the components or services that react toevents. They subscribe to specific events and perform actions based on theevent data. For instance, in the same e-commerce platform, the inventorymanagement system and the shipping system would be event consumersthat react to the ‘order placed’ event.constructor(userId) { this.userId = userId; this.eventName = ‘UserLoggedIn’;EmailChanged
