Event-Driven Architecture (Kafka)
Event-driven architecture using Apache Kafka as the central message broker. This pattern enables real-time data streaming, event sourcing, and loosely coupled microservices communication.
Kafka provides high-throughput, fault-tolerant message streaming with strong ordering guarantees and replay capabilities. Schema Registry ensures data contract enforcement across producers and consumers.
