What is an Event-Driven Architecture for modern websites?

Have you ever been growing up in your business? But the website "can't catch up with" customers? Or the backyard system "frequently falling" when many people enter? Maybe you feel that your website is like a "old building" that continues to add to "unstable" and "difficult to fix", right? This is not just a technical problem. But it directly affects "Business opportunity" and "customer satisfaction"! Think about it. If the customer is going to click to order products And the website is slow or stubborn How much sales are you lost?

In the new digital world that everything must "fast" "flexible" and "adjustable at all times", creating old websites May not answer anymore Today we will take everyone to know "Event-Driven Architecture" or "Architecture driven by events" the heart of a modern website that is ready to deal with every situation! It is a concept that transforms the system development. Let each part in your website work freely. But also effectively communicate through "events" (Events), making your website become "Machinery" that is ready to expand unlimited operation, Real-time and resistant to changes. Like you are creating "Genius building" that each room can adjust the function itself at all times. Without affecting other rooms at all! If ready to learn "key" that will make your website "Superior than competitors" and then let's see!

The real problem in life: The website is sluggish, easy to fall, difficult to expand ... is it?

[cite_start]

Many organizations, especially businesses that are growing rapidly or E-Commerce with high traffic. Tend to face the problem of "headache" with your own website often. [Cite: 138, 139] You may have ever encountered these situations, right?

[cite_start]
• ** Slow download website Slipped as a crawling turtle: ** Especially during the period of many users at the same time Your website does not work in time. Which makes the customer irritated and easy to cover the web page. [Cite: 139, 227]
[cite_start]
• ** Frequently crashed system: ** Just have promotion activities. Or new products With many people visiting Your website may easily crash. Makes you lose the opportunity to create enormous sales [Cite: 139]
• ** Adding new features It is difficult and takes a long time: ** Want to add a live chat system? Want to bind to a new transportation system? [cite_start] Every time "tap" the original code, it turns out that the whole system must be dismantled. Causing the development to be delayed and the Bug may follow [CITE: 157]
[cite_start]
• ** Various systems do not talk: ** customer information in the CRM system does not connect with the purchase data in the E-Commerce system, making Marketing Automation is difficult. [Cite: 157]
• ** High maintenance fees: ** The more complicated the system Solving the problem is even more difficult and longer. Allowing you to pay a higher care cost than you should be

[cite_start]

These problems are not small things at all, because it has a direct impact on "Conversion Rate" and "credibility" of your online business violently. Imagine that your website is "beautiful, but the kiss is not fragrant."

Prompt for illustrations: "The image shows the user that is frustrated with the computer screen that the website loads slowly or an error. With a reduced conversion rate graph and higher bounce rate "

Why did that problem occur: "Monolit website" of the source of the problem.

[cite_start]

These problems that we often see, these are often the source of the "Monolithic Architecture" website design or "monolit architecture" [Cite: 145]. Imagine this:

[cite_start]
• ** Like "The whole building" is built from "one brick": ** in the monolit system Every part of the website Whether it is a user management system, the basket system, payment processing system, or the webpage display system Will be included as a "one piece" or "one large set code" [CITE: 145]
[cite_start]
• ** A little change Will affect the whole system: ** When you want to "solve" or "add" a little feature in any part of the system, you must "edit" and "Deploy" (installed) all new code Which is at risk of making other parts The workplace is also a problem. [Cite: 145]
[cite_start]
• ** Difficult and expensive: ** If you have more users And want to increase the performance of just "Basket system" You can't do it only that part. You have to "expand" or "upgrade" all the resources of the system. Which is not worth and waste [Cite: 145]
[cite_start]
• ** Old technology cannot keep up: ** Over time Technology and program languages ​​used in monolite systems will "outdated", but to "upgrade" to be modern and use a very high cost. Because everything is "tied together" all [CITE: 145]

This is the reason that many old systems, even though they can work. But lack of flexibility, speed and expansion ability to support the business growth in an era that everything has changed rapidly. Try to study more about Webflow webpage structure that emphasizes conversion , which will help to see the work of the website in a more focus.

Prompt for illustrations: "Large old building images Which has cracks and disorderly extensions. MONOLITHIC Architecture is difficult to fix. "

If left, how will it affect ?: Lost business opportunities.

Allowing your website to be with the monolithic architecture structure without improving the Event-Driven Architecture's growth does not only affect techniques, but it is a very "business opportunity". Let's see if left for a long time What will happen:

• ** Loss of customers and sales: ** Customers in this era do not like to wait! [cite_start] If your website is slow or often falling, they will press off and go to the competitors immediately. [CITE: 227] [cite_start] Every second that customers are frustrated. Is the sales that you lost without knowing [CITE: 228]
[cite_start]
• ** Damaged brand Lack of reliability: ** Inappropriate websites reflect unprofessional images. Customers will lack confidence in transactions with you. [Cite: 174] makes you lose the opportunity to build a regular customer base.
[cite_start]
• ** Falling innovation: ** Your competitors will lead to far. Because they can add new features Quick and continuous While you still have to "be stuck" with the old solution [CITE: 166]
[cite_start]
• ** Expenses rush: ** Even if trying to save But the solution to the BUG problem caused by the original system improvement Complex system maintenance And losing business opportunities Will increase your total cost in the long run [CITE: 166]
• ** The team is discouraged. Discouraged: ** Developers and teams that have to solve the same problems repeatedly or take too long to develop. Will feel discouraged And may finally decide to move the job

These are the tangible results from not investing with flexible infrastructure. Understanding the design psychology for conversion will help you see how bad user experiences affect the purchase decision.

Prompt for illustrations: "Sandy watch that is flowing down quickly. Along with the pictures of customers walking out of online stores And the face of the business owner who is worried "

Is there any solution? And where should it start ?: Event-Driven Architecture. The answer to the era!

Time expires the website at "Not flexible"! [cite_start] The answer for these problems is to bring the concept "Event-Driven Architecture" (EDA) to apply to your website development [Cite: 41] EDA is not just techniques. But is changing "thinking" in creating a system Let's see what it is. And where should it start:

What is an Event-Driven Architecture (EDA)?

[cite_start]

Imagine that your website is not "A single brick building" anymore, but is a "small town" that has each building separately [Cite: 166] [Cite_Start] These buildings are "Services" or "Microservices". Each service will act specifically, such as [CITE: 166]:

• ** Service user: ** Take care of subscriptions, login
• ** Service basket: ** Manage additional/delete products in the basket
• ** Service order: ** Management and payment
• ** Service Warning: ** Email, SMS

[cite_start]

Now, these "service" will "communicate" through "Events" or "events" [Cite: 41] such as:

[cite_start]
• When the user "click to order products" (this is Event!) [Cite: 41]
[cite_start]
• Service ordered will "send Event" to say "There is a new order!" [Cite: 41]
[cite_start]
• Service notification will be "accepted this". "Email confirms" to customers automatically [Cite: 41]
[cite_start]
• The service manages the stock will "receive Event". "Cut stock" products [Cite: 41]

[cite_start]

You can see that each service works "independent" from each other but still "recognize" and "respond to the changes that can occur through the Event [Cite: 41]. This is the heart of EDA!

Why is Event-Driven Architecture? Is it an answer?

[cite_start]
• ** Flexible and easy to expand (Scalability & Flexibility): ** When more users You can only increase the efficiency of the service that is needed, such as adding server to the service basket without having to interfere with other Services. [Cite: 41] [Cite_Start] Like just adding a "kitchen" in the city without creating "new city" in the whole city [Cite: 41].
[cite_start]
• ** Real-time: ** Communication via Event allows data to update and send to each other immediately. Make your website quickly respond to users. [Cite: 41]
[cite_start]
• ** Resistant to errors (Resilience): ** If any service, one service crashes, other Services can still work normally [Cite: 41] [cite_start] like a building broke in the city. But the whole city can still work. [Cite: 41]
[cite_start]
• ** Easy to develop and maintain: ** Each service is small, easier to take care of and edit. Many developers can work at the same time without disturbing each other. [Cite: 41]
[cite_start]
• ** Supports new technology: ** You can easily change the technology used in one service without affecting other Services [Cite: 41].

Where should I start?

1. ** Start with "think of Event": ** Look at the overall picture of the website that there is "events". What happened? Who "creates" that event? And who "interested" is that event?
[cite_start]
2. ** Divide the system into "Microservices" (if possible): ** gradually dividing the complex parts Or the frequent changes into a sub -service [CITE: 41] The study of Composable Architecture will help to understand this idea more.
[cite_start]
3. ** Choose "Event Broker" or "Message Queue" that is appropriate: ** This is the "center" that is used to send Event. [Cite: 41] The popular example is Apache Kfka, Rabbitmq, or AWS SNS/SQS.
4. ** Clear Event design: ** Specify that each type of Event should have any information. Event should be clear.
5. ** Continuous tests and improvements: ** The system structure change is an important investment. Must always have tests and improvements

This is the beginning that will make your website become flexible and ready to deal with future growth. For relevant development services, look at the Advanced Webflow Development Services of Vision X Brain that can help you create a complex system.

Prompt for illustrations: "The city of the future that each building is connected by light fiber (media to events) orderly and lively."

Examples from the real thing that used to be achieved: when the world-class e-commerce website "flip" with EDA

In order to clearly see that the event-driven architecture is not just theory But it is something that world -class companies actually use and successfully successful. I would like to give an example from the experience that I have encountered:

[cite_start]

Think of a large E-Commerce platform. (Requesting permission not to mention the name) that has encountered a problem "system falling" often during the discount festival Or during the new product launched Which makes them "Loss of sales" to millions of baht each time [Cite: 237, 238] [Cite_Start] Their original website was created in monolithic that every function includes in one code. [Cite: 238]

Problems encountered:

[cite_start]
• When there are many people entering the web at the same time Slow stock inspection system Causing customers to see the out of stock Or can't buy [Cite: 238]
[cite_start]
• Frequent payment system Because having to wait for all parts of the system to respond completely before [CITE: 238]
[cite_start]
• Real-time promotion is difficult and at risk of Bug [Cite: 238].

Events with Event-Driven Architecture:

[cite_start]

They decided to "overhaul" the new system, gradually gradually separating the main functions into microservices and allowing each service to communicate through the Event Broker as follows: [CITE: 239]:

[cite_start]
• ** Cart Service: ** specifically managed to manage the basket When users add products to the basket, send the "ItemadDedtocart" [CITE: 239]
[cite_start]
• ** Inventory Service: ** Will receive the "ItemadDedtocart" and "Lock" temporary stock [Cite: 239]
[cite_start]
• ** Promotion System: ** Will receive the "ItemadDedtocart" and "discount" that may occur, ready to send the "DiscountCalculated" Event "back [Cite: 239]
[cite_start]
• ** Order service system: ** When the user press "Confirm the order". This system will send the "Orderplaced" [CITE: 239]
[cite_start]
• ** Notification system (Notification Service): ** Will receive the Event "Orderplaced" and "Send confirmation email" to order to customers immediately [CITE: 239]

Amazing results:

[cite_start]

After improving the Event-Driven Architecture. Their website is completely "flip" [CITE: 240]! [cite_start] during the next discount festival Although there are users at the same time. "Hundreds of thousands" the website is still "Work smoothly." There is no crash at all. [Cite: 240]! in addition:

[cite_start]
• ** Conversion Rate is rising: ** Customers can proceed quickly and without interruption, making their Conversion Rate more significantly higher. [Cite: 240]
[cite_start]
• ** Cart Abandonment Rate decreases. Causing customers to not leave the basket in the middle of the car [Cite: 241]
• ** Add new features Fast: ** The development team is flexible in adding new features such as Real-time recommendations or personal notifications. In a short time
[cite_start]
• ** Reduce system care costs: ** Can scale up only the necessary service, saving the cost of server as a whole [Cite: 241]

This is a proof that the Event-Driven Architecture is a "secret weapon" that will help your business "competition" and "grow" sustainably in the digital age! Understanding UX/UI on Webflow that makes customers click and buy. Will help to see how the design that supports these architecture to give better experience

If wanting to follow, what to do? (Can be used immediately): Roadmap to Event-Driven Website

Read here Many of you probably started to "see pictures" and "want to do", right? The transition to Event-Driven Architecture is not a matter that can be completed in one day. But we can start with "small points" and then gradually expand the results. This is a simple Roadmap that you can apply immediately:

1. "Explore and analyze" your current system:

• ** True understanding of "Pain Points": ** What is the "frequent", "slow", or "difficult to fix"? [cite_start] Start from there [cite: 246]
[cite_start]
• ** Specify "Events" mainly in the system: ** Try writing the customer's flow from the beginning to the end and find out what "events" are important. For example, "Sign up", "increase the product on the basket", "successful payment" [CITE: 246]
[cite_start]
• ** Looking for "Bounded Contexts": ** This is the concept of dividing the system into parts. With clear scope and duty Similar to looking "Microservices" is possible [cite: 246]

2. "Choose technology" that is appropriate:

• ** Event Broker/Message Queue: **
  • ** For beginners/small projects: ** Rabbitmq, Apache Kafka (can be installed by yourself), or using Cloud Providers Managed Providers such as AWS SNS/SQS, Google Cloud PUB/sub -use, which is easier to use.
  • ** For the WebFlow project that needs flexible backcift: ** Consider using Webflow API with No-Code Tools like N8N to create more easily workflow workflow workflow.
• ** Language/Framework: ** Choose language and Framework that your team is good and supports development. Microservices well (such as node.js, python, go, java)

3. "Starting from a small point" (Strangler Fig Pattern):

[cite_start]
• ** Do not just "dismantle the whole system" **: Gradually "separate" function, little bit, come out to create a new service-driven [cite: 246] [cite_start], such as starting from the service or service. Processing the order [246]
[cite_start]
• ** Connect the new service with the old system: ** Use Event Broker as a medium to communicate between the new service and the original monolith system so the system can still work together. [Cite: 246]
[cite_start]
• ** Gradually "move" function one by one: ** When the new service works well, then slowly move the responsibility from the old system to the new service one by one, like a vine that gradually "straps" the original tree until covering Mid [CITE: 246].

4. "Event design" well:

[cite_start]
• ** Name EVENT clearly: ** such as `Orderplaced`,` userregished`, `Productstockupdated '[cite: 246]
• ** Define the data structure in Event: ** specify what the Event has any information that is necessary for other Services.

5. "Detailed test" and "monitor":

[cite_start]
• The system structure change is a big deal. Must have strict tests, both Unit Test, Integration Test and End-to-End Test [Cite: 246].
[cite_start]
• Set up monitoring and Alert systems to check the operation of each Service Broker [Cite: 246].

The use of Event-Driven Architecture is a trip that takes time and understanding. But the result is the "strong" "" flexible "website, and" truly ready for the future "! In addition, learning about Other features on the webflow that you may not know Will help enhance your work potential

Questions that people tend to wonder And the answers cleared: EDA

Of course, when talking about new technology That is quite complicated like Event-Driventure. Many people may have questions. Today I compile a popular question with clear answers. Gave it:

Q1: Event-Driven Architecture, suitable for all types of websites?

A: No need for all types! [cite_start] ED will "shine" and show the most effective in case your system needs high flexibility, need independent expansion, require real-time operation, or have many systems. [CITE: 259, 260] [cite_start] If it is a small private website, a small business website, or Blog, using MONOLITHICERE or Blog. Ready is enough. [Cite: 260] [cite_start] The use of EDA in the case that is not necessary. May cause more complexity and costs, not worthwhile [CITE: 260]

Q2: Is it difficult to move from monolithic to Event-Driven Architecture? How long does it take?

[cite_start]

A: The change in the structure of the system is a challenge, but "do not need to dismantle" at once [Cite: 266] [cite_start] as mentioned in "If wanting to follow, what to do?" We can use the technique "Strangler Fig Pattern" gradually separates the service one by one. [Cite: 266] [cite_start] The time depends on the size and complexity of the original system. And the size of the development team It may take several months to many years. But it is a long -term investment. [Cite: 266] Consultation of UX/UI experts and the development of the system structure will help reduce the risk.

Q3: Event-Driven Architecture makes the system more complicated?

[cite_start]

A: In one sense, it adds complexity in the matter of [Cite: 270] [Cite_Start]. Instead of having a single code, you will have many services that need to be managed and must have an event browker. [Cite: 270] [cite_start] But on the other hand, it "reduces the complexity" in each part. Easy to understand Easy to maintain And develop faster. [CITE: 270] [Cite_Start] Challenges will be managed and monitoring systems that are distributed. But the current tools and technology help to make it easier. [Cite: 270]

Q4: What are the disadvantages to know for making an event-driven architecture?

A: Of course, all technology has two areas. The main disadvantage that should be known is:

• ** Management complex: ** Having many Services and asynchronous communications (not waiting to reply immediately) may make the debug or the system direction is difficult.
• ** Complex information management: ** Each service may have their own database, making the consort data in many Services are well designed.
• ** High starting cost: ** may have to invest with Infrastructure And some tools at first
• ** Must use skills with skills: ** The development team must have an understanding of the concept. Microservices and Event-Driven Architecture very well.

But if you plan and design well, the advantages of EDA can outweigh these disadvantages.
