Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Event-Driven Architecture

The video tutorial explains event-driven architecture, focusing on how events trigger communication between decoupled microservices. It highlights the asynchronous nature of this architecture and uses a checkout process in an e-commerce website as an example. The tutorial discusses the role of a persistence layer, such as messaging queues or cloud storage, in storing event data. It provides a practical example using Google Cloud services like Cloud Run and Cloud Functions. The video concludes by distinguishing event-driven architecture from distributed systems and encourages further exploration of the topic.
