Modern architectures (e.g. event-driven and reactive) will gain more traction as we build more complex systems, connect more distributed components and slice systems into smaller autonomous pieces. Unfortunately, many companies don’t update their business processes to reflect this. I’ll give an example and discuss the consequences, motivating you to advocate for a redesign of your business processes internally. Too much attention gravitates towards the technical side of reactive, without thinking about the user journey or business implications.

Extended Abstract:
There is a lot of buzz around reactive architectures. Take, for example, event-driven architectures, event-streaming or reactive programming. These architectures will gain more and more traction as we build more complex systems, connect more distributed components and slice systems into smaller autonomous pieces. Unfortunately, I see many companies that don’t update their business processes to reflect this new world. In this talk, I’ll give an example and discuss the consequences, hopefully motivating you to advocate for a redesign of your business processes internally–because too much attention gravitates towards the technical side of reactive, without thinking about the user journey or business implications.
