Jason English, a Principal Analyst from Intellyx, wrote a whitepaper called “Event Mesh: Event-Driven Architecture for the Real Time Enterprise”:  “We live and work in an event-driven world. Tightly coupled integrations, and conventional data transfer and processing techniques won’t be able to keep up with the accelerating pace of events in the new economy. Customer demand and cost pressures on IT will require enterprises to change the way they think about integration and messaging. In your next design or change exercise, rather than calling for more point-to-point integrations – start finding ways to incorporate pub-sub calls that support an event-driven approach.” Link
