What is real-time event-driven architecture, and why is it important for modern applications?

Real-time event-driven architecture (EDA) is a system design approach where components react to events as they occur. Unlike traditional request/response systems, EDA is inherently asynchronous and enables loosely coupled services that respond dynamically to changes.

It is essential for:

  • Real-time user personalization
  • Live analytics dashboards
    Fraud detection and security systems
  • IoT and sensor-driven applications

Snowplow enables real-time EDA by capturing, enriching, and routing user behavioral data as events, allowing systems to respond instantly to customer actions.
