Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software design pattern in which decoupled applications can asynchronously publish and subscribe to events via an event broker (modern messaging-oriented-middleware). The key benefits of EDA for modern applications and microservices are improved scalability, agility and resilience.

Solace is of the most renowned companies that offer all-in-one EDA solutions. Solace's solution lies in building event broker technologies and enabling the event mesh that powers the connected world. They have been dedicated to this craft since 2001. Solace has quietly built a business around the event mesh concept… Its technology is used by large banks, automakers, telecommunications firms, and air traffic control stations around the world.

As much as the idea behind EDA seems self-explanatory, its implementation can be challenging. It is important to have a good partner in adopting the EDA. Solace lists uncoupled IT and OT systems across hybrid, multi-cloud and IoT environments, as well as the lack of adequate event-related design, deployment and management architecture, as the main problem.

PubSub+ Platform

PubSub+ Platform provides everything needed to design, deploy, manage, visualize, and govern event-driven architecture across hybrid, multi-cloud and IoT environments.

There are two event broker options within the platform. It is possible to use Solace's own PubSub+ Event Broker or a third-party event broker.

A cloud-based console that enables architects, developers and other users to access the PubSub+ Platform to work, collaborate, and drive the enterprise’s EDA mission forward.

PubSub+ Platform enables messaging architectures that deliver consistent multi-protocol client authentication and authorization security across the enterprise, deeply integrated with enterprise authentication services using a minimal set of components.

PubSub+ Event Streaming APIs and Integrations provide a variety of on-ramps and off-ramps to the mesh, including support for open standard protocols and APIs (MQTT, AMQP, JMS, REST) as well as proprietary messaging APIs to connect legacy and modern applications, edge streaming technologies (StreamSets, Striim, Adaptris) to integrate 3rd party applications, and connectors for iPaaSs like SAP and Dell Boomi, and technologies like Kafka.

The platform's Event Portal gives developers and architects tools to design, describe and discover events within their system, and to see the relationships between applications and events, making event-driven applications and microservices easier to design, deploy and evolve.

Insights delivers centralized, out-of-the-box, proactive monitoring for PubSub+ Mission Control services to monitor the health and optimize the performance of the event-driven system.

Mission Control delivers enterprise-grade event streaming within and across public clouds, virtual private clouds, and on-premises, using PubSub+ event brokers to build an event mesh.

With all the components that this remarkable EDA platform offers and with twenty years of experience that comes with the company Solace, what more could anyone wish for.
