Treating Events as Products: the Convergence of EDA and APIs

Events and traditional API management are converging. The principles of API programs must be applied to event-driven architecture and design to be ultimately successful, particularly the principle of managing events as digital products.

This session will cover Forrester’s maturity model of event-driven architecture and how to apply the best practices of APIs to events.

David Mooter, Senior Analyst at Forrester, leads clients with a particular emphasis on business-first design principles and how application architectures such as APIs foster innovation and sustainable business flexibility. His research focuses on architectural topics such as integration, API strategy and management, event-driven architecture, and microservices.
