Event-driven architectures offer a multitude of benefits, liberating our systems by enabling extendability, scalability, fault tolerance, and flexibility. However, the asynchronous nature of event-driven architectures challenges us to rethink our approaches towards our operations.

Navigating the testing of asynchronous architectures poses significant challenges, prompting questions about the “what,” “where,” “when,” and “how” of implementing effective testing strategies. Observability, release, and rollback strategies become ever more critical as they need to balance with the testing strategies.

In this talk, Sarah answers some of these difficult questions and drives a conversation around building reliable and resilient event-driven architectures.
