Event-Driven Architecture: Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ & Saga Patterns

By Academic Curriculum & Technical Education Board•September 2, 2026

Curriculum Core Competency

Decoupling distributed services: event streaming with Apache Kafka, competing consumer queues in RabbitMQ, and distributed Saga transactions.

Event-Driven Architectures (EDA) decouple microservices through asynchronous message brokers, enabling resilient horizontal scaling.

1. Synchronous vs Asynchronous Communication

Pattern	Coupling	Failure Resilience	Primary Use Case
REST / gRPC (Sync)	Tight (Temporal dependency)	Cascading failures without circuit breakers	Real-time user queries
Kafka Event Stream (Async)	Loose (Log replay capability)	High (Consumers process at own pace)	Order fulfillment & audit trails
