Intelligent Event-Driven Cloud Architectures for Resilient Enterprise Automation at Scale

Abstract

Different enterprises are increasingly shifting to the distributed clouds, and with this shift, the traditional tightly coupled architectures are struggling to offer scalability, resiliency, and responsiveness required to sustain the current operations. The current paper discusses event-based cloud architectures as a business level strategy of enterprise automation. These architectures are decoupled service based, asynchronous communication and message-oriented workflows such that systems can respond to real time business events without the occurrence of bottlenecks and cascading failures. The basic design patterns, namely publish subscribe messaging, event sourcing, and eventual consistency are addressed within a systems perspective and demonstrate how they could be applied to gain operational resilience. The other fundamental operational concerns which are discussed in the research are observability, fault isolation, and high-throughput system governance. It provides a realistic and practical roadmap to build scalability and reliability in both the enterprise automation platforms capable of supporting both mission-critical workloads with agility and reliability by describing design principles and measuring architectural trade offs.
