Presenters Daniel Kocot Source apidays London 2025 🚀 Beyond the Code: Why Shared Meaning is the Key to Event-Driven Integration 🌐 Event-driven architecture (EDA) has become a buzzword, promising scalability and decoupling for modern systems. But are you truly reaping the benefits? Daniel Katzard, Principal Consultant at Codecentric, recently delivered a presentation that cut through the hype, revealing a critical truth: events don’t integrate systems; shared meaning does. 🎯 Many organizations are struggling with integration failures despite implementing asynchronous APIs (like Async API) and CI/CD pipelines. Why? Because the business understanding of those events often lags far behind the technical implementation. It’s a classic case of “lost in translation.” ...
