Event-driven Architectures and Microservices

Our expertise focuses on implementing microservices architectures based on modern and scalable solutions that implement consolidated architectural patterns and utilize cutting-edge technologies. This approach is based on building systems composed of autonomous services that communicate primarily through events.

The core of Bitrock’s proposal is an evolutionary architecture that integrates several complementary approaches to maximize flexibility, scalability, and responsiveness:

• Event-Driven Architecture: A service publishes an event on an event bus (such as Apache Kafka), and other interested services subscribe to that type of event and process it asynchronously. This decoupling makes services more independent and resilient.
• Microservices: Each microservice is an autonomous unit of business functionality, which can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently from others. Microservices focus on specific tasks, promoting modularity and maintainability.
• CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation): This pattern separates read operations (queries) from write operations (commands). In an event-driven architecture, events are used to update read models, ensuring consistency and optimal performance for queries.
• Loose Coupling Principles: We minimize dependencies between services to increase flexibility and resilience. Event-driven design contributes significantly to loose coupling

Real-time data processing is crucial in event-driven architectures. We use stream processing platforms like Apache Kafka to manage event streams, enabling data analysis, transformation, and enrichment.

Our solution stands out for its ability to integrate legacy systems with modern architectures, allowing a gradual and safe migration towards a more agile and high-performance infrastructure. Particular attention is paid to the design of fault-tolerant systems that ensure operational continuity even in scenarios of high load or in the presence of partial failures.
