Event-Based Architectures Using Reactive Patterns in Java Applications
Bhargavi Tanneru - · Journal of Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning and Data Science · 2024
Event-based architectures have become essential in modern distributed systems, enabling applications to be more responsive, scalable and fault-tolerant.Traditional synchronous request-response models face challenges under high concurrency, leading to performance bottlenecks and increased latency.Reactive patterns complement event-driven architectures by enabling non-blocking, asynchronous event processing, improving system resilience and optimizing resource utilization.Java, with its powerful frameworks such as Spring WebFlux, Project Reactor and Akka, provides extensive support for developing reactive applications.This paper explores the role of event-driven architectures in Java applications, detailing their advantages, challenges and implementation strategies using reactive patterns.We discuss their impact on various industries, use cases and the future scope of event-driven programming in Java.
