📨 Why switch from a synchronous architecture to an event-driven architecture?

In this article, Said MARHRANI explores the transformation of a media subscription management system based on OpenFeign into an event-driven architecture using Apache Kafka and the SAGA pattern.

In particular, it covers:
• the limitations of synchronous communication between microservices ⚠️
• how Kafka handles peak loads and improves resilience 🚀
• the role of the SAGA pattern in ensuring the consistency of distributed transactions 🔄
• the differences between synchronous and event-driven architectures ⚙️
• and best practices for building more scalable and fault-tolerant systems 🛡️

The result: an architecture capable of handling increased load, partial failures and complex transactions without compromising the user experience.
